A nine-year-old boy was allegedly beaten to death in eastern France, over suspicions he was killed for refusing to do his homework, prosecutors said.
The Police have confirmed the arrest of the boy’s mother, 20-year-old sister, 19-year-old brother, and the brother’s girlfriend were taken into custody over his death at his home in the city of Mulhouse on September 17.
The circumstances of his death are still unclear but prosecutors believe he was badly beaten for refusing to do his homework.
An autopsy showed the beating as the probable cause of death.
The boy’s sister, brother and the brother’s girlfriend called emergency services, but paramedics were unable to revive him.
