Strong altercations took place Monday, in the corridors of the court of Bobigny between the supports of the widows and those of the children of Parfait Kolelas. Last Monday, in the corridors of the Bobigny court, heated altercations took place between the supporters of the two parties, at the end of the hearing on the Perfect Kolelas case, the deliberation of which will be delivered on Friday, January 14. A decision that will finally be able to decide whether or not Guy Brice Parfait Kolelas will be buried. Maitre Pierre Henri Bovis, lawyer for the widow Kolelas, in his conclusions filed with the judge, pleaded decency, to finally give Guy Brice Perfect Kolelas a burial. He also recalls that “Mr. Guy Parfait Kolelas died on March 22, 2021 at 1:40 am according to a death certificate duly established at Le Bourget airport. Initially, the conditions of his death were unknown and doubts remained. The Bobigny public prosecutor’s office decided to open an investigation in view of the political context. On March 23, 2021, the Paris Forensic Institute performed an autopsy at the family’s request. The report concluded to “Cardio-respiratory failure due to severe bilateral diffuse pneumonia compatible with the Congolese medical finding of Covid-19”. The necessary samples having been taken, a burial permit was issued by the Public Prosecutor on May 26, 2021 and the investigation was closed. However, since that date, the Kolelas children supported by activists, refuse to organize the funeral and continue to request new autopsies at the risk of harming the body of the deceased. They joined as a civil party and forcibly seized an examining magistrate. To date, no progress has taken place in this matter. Under these conditions, the Medicolale Institute wrote to Mrs. Nathalie Kolelas on August 10, 2021 that it was urgent to bury the body which was naturally degrading despite the conditions of conservation. On November 22, 2021, faced with the manifest refusal of the children, the Institut Médicolégal threatened to ask the mayor of Le Bourget to proceed directly to the burial of the body if the funeral was not organized by December 7. The Kolelas children tried to deceive the Medicolale Institute by indicating to proceed, which they did not do to save time. On December 23, 2021, Ms. Nathalie Kolelas thus seized the Bobigny summary judge to ask to appoint her as a person of confidence to organize without delay the funeral of her late husband, in the name of the decency that we all owe to the human body. and in order to preserve his memory. This burial does not prevent the continuation of the criminal proceedings and allows the dignified recollection of the family. ” Let us recall that the European Court of Human Rights already ruled in 2001 that not proceeding with the burial of a body within a reasonable time constituted an infringement of fundamental rights.
