"On the same day the teenagers died, police in nearby Epinay arrested three men who allegedly beat a visiting photographer to death. The man worked for a lighting company and had stopped his car at a housing project to take pictures of light fixtures when he was assaulted in front of his family, police said."

Thanks, that fills it in a bit. Doesn't sound like a robbery, though, but just thuggishness. Perhaps they thought he was taking pictures for surveillance purposes, although it's odd that they would have thought this if he had has family along.
