Aurier Rules Out Revenge For Slain Brother

Aurier Rules Out Revenge For Slain Brother

Tottenham Hotspur defender Serge Aurier has ruled out seeking revenge for the killer of his departed brother, Christopher, as he trusts the French justice system to handle the case diligently.

Christopher died in France on Monday after suffering a gunshot wound to the stomach outside a nightclub in Toulouse, with the assailant now in the grips of the police.

Just two days after Aurier’s bereavement he was back in action for Spurs, playing the entire 90 minutes in their 3-1 win over Newcastle United in the Premier League on Wednesday but has since flown to France to mourn with his family.

Speaking to French media outlet La Depeche, Aurier said: "I have no feeling of hatred or revenge.

"I work in a profession where you have to be calm. I'm calm. I have faith in justice. I am saddened, I am in regret. I continue to mourn the death of my brother."

Speaking about Christopher, he added: "He took care of everyone here while I was away.

"He took care of my mother, my nephews and nieces. He took care of all material things with pleasure. I really appreciated knowing that he was there for my mother. It set the mood at home."

Aurier has made 40 appearances in all competitions for Jose Mourinho’s men this season.

He joined Tottenham Hotspurs from French champions Paris Saint Germain in the summer of 2017 and was a member of the Ivorian side that won the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.
