May 2006. I had never heard of the case, and found this article from La Provence,

goes back over the 3-year-old Modolo case. The article had to be

In

tortured William Modolo (left), a 20-year-old who was only seeking the

In
May 2006, on the banks of the River Arc in Aix-en-Provence, six people
tortured William Modolo (left), a 20-year-old who was only seeking the
friendship of these misfits. Three days of torture, unspeakable
suffering, until the final killing, with rocks, in the cold light of a
mobile phone. Four men ages 25 to 53 and two young women in their
twenties will be judged in the coming months. The examining magistrate
Jean-Baptiste Colombani sent the case to the criminal court of
Bouches-du-Rhône citing acts of torture and barbarity, gang rape and
murder.

A
psychiatrist's help was needed in order to relate to Roselyne and
Joseph Modolo, the young man's parents, the details of the tortures he
had to endure.

The
only thing that is known from the rambling and contradictory statements
made by the group is that William was seeking their friendship,
possibly a bit more with the girls. Because of his weight (over 300
lbs) and his kindly nature William became an object of constant
humiliations.

On
May 18, 2006, the "chief" of the gang decided to pull out 15 of his
teeth. An insurmountable suffering, according to the experts. The
others seconded him: one of the girls showed off the "trophy" - a bowl
containing the teeth.

His
mother Roselyne, tortured by nightmares despite her outward equanimity,
wished for "some rational explanation" for what they had done, but
there wasn't any. "For them, it was a macabre game. They were the
Indians and they took part in the agony of the cowboy." Those who knew
William depict him as a nice boy, friendly, with a permanent need for
affection. He reassured his mother who did not want to make hasty
judgments on his new "friends": ...

William depict him as a nice boy, friendly, with a permanent need for
affection. He reassured his mother who did not want to make hasty
judgments on his new "friends": "Don't worry, mother, they don't do
stupid things."

The
extreme violence lasted for entire days. Scenes of the rape executed
with various objects are extremely cruel. "He was beaten with wood,
with iron, with picks and even with the awning of a trailer," explains
Monique Touitou, the family lawyer, adding that in her 33 years as an
attorney she had never seen anything like it.

Not
once, did any of the criminals become aware of what they were doing.
there was no sudden burst of lucidness or humanity that might have
saved William. On the contrary, they all participated in the final
judgment. All six voted for death and debated on the ways to do it.
Death was chosen because, according to their leader, "black and blue
marks disappear, teeth do not grow back." These discussions took place
in front of William who begged with his final breath: "I don't want to
die."

Taken to Saint-Cannat, the young man was stoned to death.

Note:
the silence surrounding this murder is deafening. However, it did make
the news, since several websites have the information. Much was written
also at the message boards, where the readers unburden their great
resentment against the media for devoting so much time to Ilan Halimi
and next-to-nothing about William. They believe that Jews are a
privileged group who receive an inordinate amount of attention and they
feel that William was insignificant because he was not Jewish or black
or Arab - just a white French kid, possibly Catholic.

Note:
the silence surrounding this murder is deafening. However, it did make

and next-to-nothing about William. They believe that Jews are a

feel that William was insignificant because he was not Jewish or black
or Arab - just a white French kid, possibly Catholic.

We
know nothing about the killers except for some strange contradictions:
they seem to have had a decent standard of living and held good jobs.
At the same time they were products of broken homes, drug addictions,
horrible childhoods and psychiatric hospitals. One of the women was a
social worker, another was the son of a lawyer. Some message board
participants said they thought they were "Goths" or Satanists. France
has experienced a seemingly endless spate of graveyard vandalism with
overturned crosses and ripped open graves. These are essentially
anti-Catholic acts committed by Satanists that go under-reported by the
media, and only vigilant Catholic groups write about them. The French
constantly complain bitterly that while any vandalism against a mosque
or synagogue makes headlines, no one cares about the churches and
cemeteries.

Nor
do we know much about the victim. There was speculation that Modolo is
a Jewish name. Others said no, it's Italian. Why did they name him
"William" instead of "Guillaume"? It may seem trivial to waste time
speculating, but France has to know what she is dealing with. The fear
of making improper associations (what they call "amalgamations")
prevents people from speaking openly about crime. But they should not
be afraid of calling a spade a spade. If most criminals are black or
Muslim you have to say so. If white Satanic cults are flourishing and
attempting to

to undermine Christian culture, the Church or Church representatives should say so in a loud voice and force the media to report it. Ilan Halimi got publicity because the Jewish community put pressure on the government to do something. The Catholic leaders should do likewise.

That said, we do NOT know who these people are. The trial will be coming up in several weeks, and I'll try to follow it if it's reported.

This sounds to me like a "copycat" crime, since it happened in the weeks following Ilan's murder. They used stones and iron bars - things often used by ghetto gangs. Extracting his teeth is reminiscent of Hitler who extracted the teeth of Jews for ...

to undermine Christian culture, the Church or Church representatives should say so in a loud voice and force the media to report it. Ilan Halimi got publicity because the Jewish community put pressure on the government to do something. The Catholic leaders should do likewise.

This sounds to me like a "copycat" crime, since it happened in the weeks following Ilan's murder. They used stones and iron bars - things often used by ghetto gangs. Extracting his teeth is reminiscent of Hitler who extracted the teeth of Jews for the gold. The gang also could have been a mixture of races and ethnicities as often happens nowadays. Or they could have been semi-nomadic, such as the Rom, since a trailer was involved.

It should be noted that violence breeds violence. The western countries have allowed immigrants to get away with murder, literally. This means inevitably that some whites are going to become violent as well, since they perceive that it goes unpunished and that the perpetrators are molly-coddled. In America a "white trash" movement in dress, music and behavior sprang from the black ghetto culture as a kind of counterpart.

Notice the rise in female violence, as girls become "ghettoized" culturally speaking. Often they are well-to-do girls who have been given the green light to be evil.

Any reliable information you may have on this case is welcome. Pass it on.
