Two brothers were placed in pre-trial detention in Rennes after beating two thirty-year-olds, one of whom died. At the origin of this explosion of violence, a story of a parking space, then of honking. A real tragedy.
As he hung up with his son, he said, “See you tomorrow, I love you.” But there was never a tomorrow. Anthony, a 30-year-old young man, was killed with a baseball bat on the night of Saturday to Sunday, February 25, in the suburbs of Rennes, in Ille-et-Vilaine. He leaves behind an eight-month pregnant wife and a three-year-old boy.
According to “Ouest-France”, Anthony was returning from a slightly alcoholic evening with a friend when around midnight, while passing through a hamlet, the thirty-year-old pressed the horn of his utility vehicle several times. This behavior greatly displeased two brothers living on one of the plots of land in the area, who then jumped into their Mercedes.

Aboard the sports car, they quickly caught up with Anthony’s utility vehicle, blocked his path and beat him with baseball bats. The 30-year-old man died on the spot and his autopsy revealed “several fractures or wounds to the face and skull”. His passenger also suffered blows, but less violently, and managed to get help from neighbors.

A precedent 15 days earlier
Two brothers already accused in 2019 of “violence with a weapon” in response to previous nuisances and who lived in a caravan installed on their father’s land were identified as the authors of this outburst of hatred. Fearing a certain level of violence among this duo, the gendarmes would have waited for the arrival of the GIGN to arrest them. Indicted, they were placed in pre-trial detention for “murder”.
According to “Actu Rennes”, Anthony knew his attackers and had already been confronted with them fifteen days before his death. The latter allegedly criticized him for parking in a parking lot near their land and since then, the thirty-year-old “was a little after them,” reports the prosecution.

“He wore his heart on his sleeve”
Anthony was already the father of a 3-year-old boy and his wife, Cassandra, was eight months pregnant. “He said to his son “See you tomorrow, I love you”, except that there was no tomorrow,” this tearful woman testifies to our colleagues at Actu Rennes.
A member of his town’s festival committee, the thirty-year-old worked as a construction worker and was passionate about hunting. “He was shy, very reserved. He didn’t confide. But, he had the joy of living, assures his wife. He wore his heart on his sleeve, always there to help others. »
