Both defendants vehemently deny their involvement in the murder of Karim Tir, 30, who was shot dead at the wheel of his vehicle by men on a motorbike in front of a metro station, on June 12, 2014, in Asnières-sur-Seine (Hauts – de-Seine).

“I am a car thief, I can commit robberies but I am not a murderer”, stressed Mohamed Seghier during the debate, presented by the judicial police as one of the influential members of a criminal team from Marignane (Bouches-du-Rhône), a town near Marseille.
The victim, Karim Tir, released from prison two years earlier after serving a five-year sentence for drug trafficking, had turned to music production, most notably managing Jul as her career began to flourish.
