Frenchman Accused of Sheep Massacre Files Complaint Against Witness Who Filmed Incident

The Frenchman who had run over the sheep of a young shepherd wants to take the man who was at the origin of his misfortune to court. Simohammed Zerhani was summoned this Thursday, July 16 by the gendarmerie of Mansouria for death threats and insults, reports Telquel.

At the end of his summons, the defendant said he was surprised by the charges for which he was summoned. According to him, the author of the massacre had rather threatened him for having filmed the scene of the drama. "I did not file a complaint because what mattered most to me was to document what the child (the shepherd’s son, editor’s note) was going through. I don’t understand the reason for this complaint, three months after the facts, when I obviously did not threaten this man," he lamented.

Two months ago, the Frenchman had rushed at the herd of the young shepherd on the David beach. He blamed them for being on his land. The video of this drama widely circulated on social networks had caused emotion and provoked the wrath of Internet users.
