European vice-champion convicted of murder on an electric scooter
Rennes forward Mathis Lambourde has been sentenced to two years' probation for manslaughter. On June 18, 2024, the vice-champion of the European Youth Championship ran over 51-year-old Stephanie Cadeau on a sidewalk in Rennes at a speed of just over 20 km/h.
Six days later, the woman died in intensive care. She is survived by three children.
An 18-year-old football player was found guilty of manslaughter as a result of a traffic violation. He was sentenced to two years in prison with a suspended sentence.
"Now I realize that I should never have done it, that it could have been easily avoided. I regret driving on the sidewalk. I apologize to the family of the victim and sincerely regret what I did," Lambourd said in court.
Initially, the prosecutor demanded the revocation of the driver's license for one year with a ban on re-issuing it for the same period, but the judge decided to give the player a suspended prison sentence. Last season, Lambourd played 34 matches for Rennes U-19 and Rennes' reserve team, scoring 16 goals.
