A 17-year-old teenager has been arrested for his alleged involvement in a murder that occurred at a karaoke bar in Bongatsara on August 23. He admitted to stabbing a 21-year-old customer twice in the neck. According to his statements, he acted after seeing the victim attempt to remove an object from his back. The tragedy occurred around 3 a.m. at the establishment. The victim, who had spent the evening drinking with a young woman, went to the restroom with her and another man. Moments later, the young woman emerged alone. The young man's body was found shortly after, lying in front of the restroom door, covered in blood. Medical examination confirmed death by hemorrhage. Gendarmes seized the knife used, examined surveillance footage, and analyzed suspects' phones. Three women were charged with complicity or aiding the suspect's escape. The investigation traced the main suspect's movements before his arrest on August 25. The karaoke bar owner was questioned. Gustave Mparany
