Just a week after the brutal murder of a young French girl, Philippine, in the Bois de Boulogne near Paris, involving a Moroccan migrant facing deportation, another murder has shaken the country. This time, the victim is 17-year-old Kilian Binard, a promising boxer from Normandy, who was stabbed to death on Sunday, September 29th, in a nightclub parking lot near Bayeux. The suspect? An Algerian national whose residence permit had just been renewed.
Once again, the devastating consequences of France’s open-border policies and the left-wing government’s lax approach to immigration are thrust into the spotlight as the nation grapples with the growing sense of injustice and insecurity.
Kilian Binard: A Promising Life Stolen by Migrant Violence
Kilian Binard was not just another statistic. The 17-year-old Normandy boxing champion, who had recently won the title of young hopeful in his discipline, was a talented young man with a bright future. But his life was tragically cut short in a violent attack outside the nightclub “L’Octavia” in Subles.
In the early hours of Sunday, Kilian and his friends were preparing to leave the nightclub when they crossed paths with Nasser Bekaddour, a 24-year-old Algerian national. According to initial findings, the fight, which involved around twenty people, escalated when Bekaddour retrieved a knife from his car and stabbed Kilian in the back and neck, delivering the fatal blow.
The attack mirrors the recent murder of Philippine, yet again highlighting the failure of France’s immigration system to protect its citizens.
Bekaddour, who had recently had his ten-year residence permit renewed, initially denied the charges but later admitted to picking up the knife during the fight, claiming he “unfolded the blade and used it to strike the first person in front of him,” while insisting he had no intention to kill. Yet, Kilian is now dead, and his family and community are left grieving, forced to confront a system that continues to prioritize migrants over the safety of its citizens.
A Broken System: Open Borders and Left-Wing Policies to Blame
The suspect’s residence permit was revoked following Kilian’s murder, but this reactive step comes too late. The murder of Philippine, which involved a Moroccan migrant who was also under a deportation order, had already shown the deadly consequences of France’s lenient policies toward migrants with criminal records. Bekaddour’s accomplice, who also played a role in the altercation, has been under an obligation to leave French territory (OQTF) since January 2023—yet, like many others, he remained in the country.
The accomplice, who has been identified by police for previous offenses, including rebellion, resisting arrest, and driving without a license, is now being heard as a witness. His OQTF, just like that of Philippine’s potential murderer, was not enforced. How many more dangerous individuals will slip through the cracks before the French government acknowledges the severity of its deadly failure?
Public Anger Reaches a Boiling Point
Kilian’s murder comes at a time when the public is already enraged by the murder of Philippine. Both victims are seen as casualties of a system that has allowed dangerous individuals to remain in France unchecked. As one of Kilian’s boxing trainers lamented in a Facebook post, “What kind of s***** France is this, where you’re not safe anywhere?”
The outrage is palpable, with conservative politicians like Éric Zemmour speaking out. “It’s always the same people who kill and always the same people who die,” Zemmour posted on X, encapsulating the fury felt by many. Hashtags like #JusticePourKilian quickly followed those of #JusticePourPhilippine, signaling the growing unrest as citizens demand answers, action, and justice.
Kilian’s death is not an isolated incident—it is part of a broader crisis caused by open-border policies and the left-wing government’s failure to enforce deportation orders. The fact that both Kilian and Philippine were killed by migrants who should not have been in the country only fuels the anger of a nation that feels increasingly betrayed by its leaders.
A System in Need of Reform: France Must Act Now
As unrest in France continues to grow, the glaring flaws in the nation’s immigration policies are undeniable. Migrants with criminal records, like the suspect in Kilian’s murder, are routinely given the green light to stay in the country at the expense of public safety. The same leniency allowed Philippine’s murderer to remain in France, and now, Kilian’s death marks yet another tragic failure of the system.
Despite the swift intervention of the nightclub’s security team, which included an ex-military officer, nothing could be done to save Kilian. One staff member recalled seeing Bekaddour covered in blood as he tried to pass something to his friends, but even as they pursued and detained him, the damage had been done.

The nightclub where Kilian’s life was stolen has since been temporarily closed out of respect for his family. Still shaken by the events, owner Charlie Madelaine stated, “None of us are ready to go on like this.”
France at a Breaking Point: A Nation in Crisis
The murders of Philippine and Kilian Binard are tragic reminders that France can no longer afford to ignore the dangers of open borders and uncontrolled immigration. These are not isolated incidents—they are part of a larger crisis that threatens the safety and security of the nation. France is at a breaking point, and its people are demanding answers, accountability, and, most importantly, action.
In response to the rising number of victims, French citizens have been symbolically placing crosses to represent the lives lost to violent crimes committed by migrants.
Nous plantions ces croix hier soir, qui symbolisaient le nombre tristement élevé de Français tombés sous les coups de l'immigration, suite à nos politiques laxistes.

The question now is how many more lives will be lost before the government finally acknowledges its failure to protect its citizens. Will more innocent lives be sacrificed in the name of political correctness, or will France finally take the steps necessary to secure its borders and prevent further tragedy?
The future of France depends on the answer.
