Small boat migrant found dead riddled with bullets on French coast after being gunned down ‘by people smugglers'
It was the latest in a long list of shootings around Loon-Plage beach MIGRANT SHOOTING Small boat migrant found dead riddled with bullets on French coast after being gunned down 'by people smugglers' A SMALL boat migrant has been found dead after being shot seven times by suspected people smugglers - with a murder enquiry launched. The deceased man - in his late teens or early 20s – is the latest victim of a surge of shootings around a camp at Loon-Plage, on the outskirts of Dunkirk. 3 Migrants hoping to reach the UK by small boat clash with police Credit: Chris Eades 3 Police fought battles with migrants trying to board small boats at Dunkirk Credit: Chris Eades 3 French police officers puncture a smuggler's boat with a knife to prevent migrants from embarking Credit: AFP Investigating sources revealed on Monday: "He was hit by seven bullets. "The camp was full of people hoping to get to Britain, when he was confronted by gunmen. "Around twenty bullets were fired in all, and seven entered the man's body." The source added how emergency service workers were at the scene but tragically couldn't save him. The Dunkirk prosecutor visited the crime scene, which on Monday was blocked off, and surrounded by armed police. The hunt was meanwhile launched for the "suspected people smugglers" responsible for murder, said the source. It was the latest in a long list of heinous shootings around Loon-Plage beach, from where small inflatable boats with migrants onboard regularly set off for Britain. In June, a Sudanese man was shot dead and a mother-and-child wounded by suspected people smugglers the same camp. The horrific bloodbath unfolded when a gang opened fire on specific targets, while hitting passers-by. Two males – a man and a 17-year-old minor connected to a people smuggling gang – were then arrested, and face charges of "murder by an organised gang' and "attempted murder by an organised gang." There were also charges related to possession of a range of weapons, believed to include pistols and rifles. Migrant hotel protesters take to the streets again as demonstrations spread across the country in weekend stand-off Beyond the dead Sudanese man, three other men were seriously wounded and taken to hospital in Dunkirk. All of the violence is said to be linked to people smugglers "settling scores" against those who do not pay them. The cost of a single voyage to Britain in a small boat is now as much as £1500 cash. In December, a gun enthusiast was charged with the murders of five men including UK-bound migrants around Loon Plage. Frenchman Paul Domis, 22, was remanded in custody after confessing to a lethal shooting spree in the area. During less than an hour of intense violence, Domis allegedly targeted three former colleagues, and two Iraqi-Kurds who had intended to get to Britain on small boats. Charlotte Huet, the Dunkirk prosecutor, said Domis faced 'life in prison' for 'three targetted assassinations' of men he knew, and two further charges of 'murder' of the migrants. Domis will be remanded in custody until a quintuple murder trial is held later this year, or in 2026. The Loon-Plage camp is an illegal one, but growing everyday as migrants from all over the world arrive. In the first half of this year, some 20,000 migrants crossed the English Channel to the UK, up almost 50 per cent on the corresponding period last year. Numbers of what the British government calls "irregular migrants" keep rising, with 638 arriving on the coast of England in the seven days to last Friday. Bruno Retailleau, France's Interior Minister, regularly pledges tougher action against the highly organised smuggling guns operating in northern France. He said: "Our government will intensify the fight against these mafias who are getting rich by organising these crossings of death."

Jess Carter reveals she was 'scared to play' in England's triumphant Euro 2025 final after suffering racial abuse on social media
England defender Jess Carter has revealed that she was scared to play in the Euro 2025 final having been subjected to racist abuse earlier in the tournament. Carter, 27, suffered the abuse in the aftermath of the Lionesses' quarter-final victory over Sweden. However, she was part of manager Sarina Wiegman's starting line-up for the final on Sunday night, which saw them beat Spain in a dramatic penalty shootout to lift a second consecutive European Championship and avenge their World Cup defeat from two years earlier against the same opponents. After celebrating victory with her team-mates, Carter revealed her nerves heading into the match - as she ended up part of a team that created footballing history. She said: 'I was super scared of playing the final for the first time in my life. 'When I woke up in the morning and saw my team and saw the support I had - and the belief I had from my team-mates, manager and family - I could come out and give my all. That's all you can do. 'It's incredible, the fans have been incredible all tournament and we couldn't have done this without them. 'We're so grateful for them and this moment. Giving up is not in our DNA. We have stuck together from minute one. I couldn't be prouder of this team and I'm so honoured to be proud of it. 'I'm more disappointed in my previous performances than anyone else.' It comes after Carter's team-mate Lucy Bronze called on social media companies to take action over online trolls after Carter was racially abused. Carter said she had received a 'lot' of online hate after the game and announced that she was stepping away from social media. Full back Bronze, 33, subsequently launched a fiery condemnation of the vile comments aimed at Carter and revealed abuse has been on the rise in the women's game as it has grown in popularity. 'We all know that any player of colour who's played for England has probably gone through racist abuse. That's a sad fact in this day and age,' said Bronze. '(We're feeling) anger and sadness that our team-mate has gone through this. We don't want it to happen. We want to be focused on the football. England's players unanimously decided not to take the knee before their semi-final against Italy, saying it is time to find a new way to tackle racism 'We want Jess and anybody else who puts on an England shirt to be brave, to be happy when they play for England.' Carter, 27, had posted on Instagram: 'From the start of this tournament, I have experienced a lot of racial abuse. Whilst I feel every fan is entitled to their opinion on performances and results, I don't think it's OK to target someone's appearance or race. 'I am grateful for all the support from the genuine fans, but I am taking this measure to protect myself in a bid to keep my focus on helping the team any way I can. 'Hopefully speaking out will make the people writing this abuse think twice, (and) others won't have to deal with it.' Women's football has experienced a boom in popularity in recent years but, as Bronze made clear, that growth has brought serious challenges. 'The bigger the game gets, the bigger the noise becomes, the more fans there are, the more critics there are,' said the Chelsea defender. ' We're obviously open to critics, that's why we love the sport, but we're not open to abuse. The FA contacted UK police after hearing of the racist abuse Carter had been subjected to 'The bigger the sport's got, it seems to be that more abuse has come as well and especially in women's football, the online abuse seems to be getting worse and worse. 'We see it more in the stadiums in men's football, as well as online, but with women's football there seems to be a real target online. People need to be held accountable.'
