There are renewed concerns over levels of violence among young French people after the death of a 15-year-old pupil who was badly beaten near his school.
The boy was attacked by several people as he left school on Thursday afternoon in Viry-Chatillon, about 20km (12 miles) south of Paris.
He suffered a cardiac arrest and died a day later, a police source said.
“This extreme violence is becoming commonplace,” said the town mayor, Jean-Marie Vilain.
