The birth of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's twins has sparked fierce protests in Nice, France - because the news has overshadowed a high profile murder case.

Protestors began picketing outside of the Fondation Lenval hospital this week (begs14Jul08), where the twins were born on Saturday.

According to celebrity website TMZ.com, Nice residents are upset the mayor has failed to address the case of a local murder victim in lieu of celebrating the American movie stars and their new additions.

Following the birth, Mayor Christian Estrosi showed off the children's birth certificates on the steps of the hospital, describing the birth of Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline as "a pride to Nice and all its citizens."

Estrosi also declared the star honourary citizens of the city.
