Investigation Launched After Homeless Man Killed in Lyon
A tragic incident unfolded in Lyon on Monday, where a homeless man was found dead on the street, apparently the victim of a brutal attack involving a concrete block. The Lyon prosecutor's office has confirmed that a murder investigation is underway following the discovery of the victim, who had suffered a severe head wound. The body was located around 10 a.m. under a porch near Place Carnot, an area that has recently seen violence among the homeless community.
Details of the Incident
The victim, identified as Emilio, was a Moldovan national who had been living in Lyon for several years. Neighbors described him as a kind man in his thirties.
