It is a fact that freezes blood and challenges understanding: a lawyer was killed, bare, burned and thrown in excruciating conditions. The suspects? His own children, with the complicity of their father, ex-spouses of the victim, all struck by a warrant of deposit according to justice.
This drama, of rare cruelty, shocks public opinion and raises many questions about the springs of such an act.
The first data of the survey evoke an frosty premeditation. Nothing suggested such an outburst of violence: children are described as well integrated, educated, graduates, having lived abroad thanks to their studies. Neither marginalized nor psychologically unstable according to the first elements. A profile that makes the business even more difficult to understand.
In an unbearable staging, the victim was found in a state that goes beyond the imagination. It is not only the murder that strikes, but the relentless post-mortem. Tunisia has never known a family crime of such barbarism, according to several specialists in local criminology.
This crime, at the crossroads of absolute horror and inexplicable, perhaps marks a turning point in the perception of violence in Tunisian society. It is neither a mafia settling, nor an act under the influence of drugs or apparent mental disorders according to the first elements of the investigation. But from a cold, methodical act, perpetrated by apparently “normal” individuals.
While justice continues its investigations, opinion remains suspended between dread, misunderstanding and fear. Because this news item, beyond its singularity, deeply questions the very foundations of family bond, latent violence, and what society accepts or was.
The crime in Tunisia, through this drama, is entering a new era. An era where monstrosity can arise where you least expect it.
