France: 13-Year-Old Confesses to Killing Mother with Hammer – Was in Shock

A 13-year-old boy in Nice, France, has confessed to fatally striking his 42-year-old mother with a hammer. He initially denied any involvement but later admitted to having an argument with his mother about alcohol consumption and hitting her in the head with a hammer. The prosecutor has requested his pre-trial detention, as the boy is alleged to have been aware of his actions. The incident occurred on Friday evening, and the mother died despite the efforts of rescuers.
