A French influencer sentenced to 19 years in prison for the murder of an Internet user
BET À DAY
A French Assize Court on Friday sentenced an influencer to 19 years in prison for the live-streamed murder of a man after an online dispute.
Son of an actress French, Firmine Richard (“Eight women”, “Romuald and Juliette”, “Les Profs 2”…) with whom he still lived, Keneff Leauva, 40, had stabbed to death in April 2021 Mamadi T., alias “ Moussa VR6″.
The victim showed up at dawn at the actress's home in the Paris region to explain himself after an altercation in front of 500 spectators on the live video application Bigo Live .
The jury retained a sentence less than the 25 years in prison required by the prosecutor, considering that Keneff Leauva had not premeditated his action.
With many Internet users called to the stand to testify, the trial this week shed light on how one man's individual radicalization was part of a collective drift online, at the po int to blur the boundaries of the real and the virtual.
