Two men convicted for assault in case of French livestreamer's death

The court in Nice has convicted two men for aggravated assault and incitement to hatred. This ruling was made in the context of the investigation into the death of Jean Pormanove, a French livestreamer who passed away last August.

Pormanove, who was also known by his real name Raphaël Graven, was tortured during a twelve-day livestream on the platform Kick. The livestream ended abruptly when he died, after which the screen went black.

During this livestream, more than a million people followed the events. Pormanove created content alongside other streamers, which helped to boost his popularity.

According to reports, the two men were asleep at the time of Pormanove's death. This detail was noted in the coverage of the case, which appears to be an important aspect of their involvement in the situation.

The court did not announce a specific sentence, but the convictions for aggravated assault and incitement to hatred emphasize the seriousness of the case.
