Afghan Cuts the Throat of Victim in Front of Crowded McDonald’s in Bordeaux, Leaves Him to Die on Video

An Afghan man had been charged with murder after killing another Afghan for “bad behavior” in a dramatic scene captured on video in France.

Frantic screaming began after witnesses saw a horrific scene develop in front of them on Friday, at around 6:30 p.m. in Bordeaux, France. At Place de la Victoire, a 28-year-old Afghan was stabbed to death by a fellow 27-year-old Afghan national, with the victim splayed on his back as he bled out from his neck.

The suspect, who has been charged with murder, can be seen on the video sitting calmly after the murder.

The attacker reportedly arranged to meet with the victim before murdering him due to the victim’s “bad behavior” towards the suspect’s family in Afghanistan, according to French newspaper Le Parisien.

The victim was discovered by police lying on a bench unconscious in front of McDonald’s. Medical services were unable to revive the victim, who suffered 11 stab wounds, including one to the heart.

The man did not flee after the attack but instead sat on a bench and held his knife. Police report that they seized a “large knife” from him. He also to the police that he “was the perpetrator of the attack” immediately upon being arrested.

Once in police custody, he told investigators that he had known the victim “for several years,” and had “arranged to meet him with the intention of killing him.”

The Bordeaux prosecutor’s office related that he gave his testimony in a “rather confused manner,” but claimed the man had acted poorly to the suspect’s family during their time in Afghanistan.

Prior to the attack, both the suspect and the victim were not known criminals in France.

The investigation will be overseen by the Territorial Crime Division of the Bordeaux (DIPN). The suspect has been charged with murder and is in pre-trial detention.
