Saint-Gaudens: death of a pub owner following an assault, investigation and tensions
José Capela Nsimundélé, manager of the Café 50 and Le 5 Pierres in Saint-Gaudens, died on October 26 after being beaten up during an assault that took place the previous weekend. Two men surrendered to the police on October 28 and were placed in police custody; the Toulouse prosecutor's office has taken charge of the case. A white march bringing together several hundred people was held on October 30, while two suspects were presented to an investigating judge. Calls for peace were subsequently launched in the face of threats of retaliation between communities, and the Renaissance Puissance Noire movement distanced itself from the tragedy.
