Lagnieu, Ain - French police launched a major murder hunt on Wednesday after an 11-year-old boy was stabbed more than 40 times and his body left in the street in a small country town.
Paramedics at first thought the boy, who has only been named as Valentin, had been attacked by an animal, investigators said. But a medical examiner told police that the wounds had been inflicted with a knife-like instrument. Prosecutor Jean-Paul Gandoliere said that Valentin had been stabbed about 40 times to the throat, body and arms.

A DNA probe matched Moitoiret with traces of blood found on the tracksuit worn by Valentin.
