A teenager in France has been arrested after authorities say he tortured and killed a priest accused of sexually abusing him and his father.
The revenge killing occurred on Nov. 4 at 91-year-old priest Roger Matassoli’s house in Agnetz, Oise, France, where the 19-year-old, identified only as Alexandre V., was working as a housekeeper, according to the Daily Mail.
Alexandre claimed to have been sexually abused by Matassoli in the past. Alexandre’s father, Stephane, was also allegedly abused by the priest when he was a child. Matassoli was previously accused by at least four others of sexual abuse between 1960 and 2000.
Alexandre was initially arrested on the day of the priest’s murder but was not charged until Thursday because he was hospitalized for psychiatric reasons. The teenager told authorities he can’t remember killing the priest, whose body was found with signs of torture.
Matassoli was removed from his duties a decade ago because of sexual abuse allegations, though the church reportedly kept him on the payroll until last year.
Stephane said his father killed himself when he found out about the abuse. Alexandre also reportedly tried to kill himself after the murder.
“This man has shattered a whole family,” Stephane said.

Thank you. NOW I get it.
I bet the kid planned in advance on getting that housekeeping job. Just so he could....
Somebody will say this priest’s motives were taken out of context eventually.
If what the guy says is true, that was some serious karma.
Lol
Poorly written partial news story, or the basis of an intriguing Hollywood movie?
Wrong hole.
“My name is Inigo Montoya...”
Both, I guess. Thanks for the button.
Another adult “teen”
I was thinking the same thing.
But down the throat probably correlated to the specific nature of the sexual abuse.
If it had been the other way... forget it. You know where I’m going here.

“This man has shattered a whole family,” Stephane said.
Stephane is Alexandre's father and the quote is from Stephane so he was not the suicide. Apparently Alexandre's Grandfather, Stephane's Father is the one who committed suicide when he learned his parish Priest was a pedofile.
I would guess that this wasn’t plotted, but rather chance.
His employment brought him next to the guy and he snapped.
Usually in these cases the kids get as far away as possible from where things happened to them but in a depressed economy that may not be very far.
The church shuold have given as much evidence as was there to the authorities.
If the filthy old pedophile had been locked up where he should have been the young guy would never have seen him again.
I think the kid has a split personality, and Richard Gere is going to defend him in the trial. Seriously though, what a wild story. It’s right out of a Law and Order script if not Primal Fear.
Guess the priest was really a vampire as the crucifix did him in. /s
He wasn’t “working for the expriest”
He had a job at a care facility and the facility wound up taking in the pedophile who abused the guy and his father by chance.
that'd do it...
“Somebody will say this priest’s motives were taken out of context eventually.”
Fortunately there are fewer and fewer defenders of such atrocities against children these days.
“Matassoli was removed from his duties a decade ago...”
If this kid is 19, that would have made him 9 or under, perfect for priest molestation.
