(Radio France) On Friday, at the special criminal court where 20 men are being tried on suspicion of involvement in the November 2015 Paris massacres of 130 people, the families of some of the 90 Bataclan victims attempted to describe their on-going nightmare of grief, confusion and incomprehension.
There were final phone conversations, between lovers, between fathers and daughters, while the killers continued their terrible task.
One of Friday’s witness[es] was still at work when her boyfriend rang. He was at the Bataclan. She could hear explosions. Most importantly, she could hear his voice.
“He said there had been an attack, that he was wounded, that he was dying, and that he loved me.”
