Parisians have been stunned by the shocking murder of a 12-year-old schoolgirl whose body was found on Friday in a container in the courtyard of her apartment building.
The girl, named Lola, had spent the day normally at school.
Her father raised the alert when she failed to return home in the afternoon.
Later in the evening, a transparent plastic packing box containing her body was found at the foot of the building in the 19th arrondissement.

Lola's father is employed as a concierge in the residential block. Her body was found squashed inside the container, hidden by a covering of material.
Her hands and feet were tied and she was reported to have a gash on her neck, though the autopsy this weekend found she had died of asphyxiation. Two Post-it notes were also on her feet, one saying "0" and the other "1".

Early on Saturday, police arrested the main suspect in the killing - a 24-year-old Algerian-born woman named in the press as Dahbia B.
The woman was identifiable on a security video taken at the apartment building, in which she was seen entering the main door on Friday afternoon in the company of Lola.
Later she was seen leaving the building pulling a container and then acting incoherently on the street. One eyewitness said she asked for help in return for money from an "organ-trafficking affair".
However, police said they did not believe this was a serious lead. Their most plausible theory is that Dahbia B, who has no fixed abode, is psychologically unstable and that her act was "gratuitous".
Also in custody is a 43-year-old man who is believed to have ferried Dahbia B and the container in his car. Police think that, having been driven by him around the Paris suburbs, Dahbia B returned to the apartment building - where her sister also is a resident.
There the two sisters are reported to have had a noisy row, before Dahbia B left again - this time without the container. She spent the night in a flat in the suburb of Bois-Colombes where she was picked up the next day.

Police have opened an investigation for murder of a person under 15 years of age accompanied by acts of torture and barbarity. Dahbia B is expected to be placed under judicial investigation and kept in custody.
At Lola's school, children and parents were visibly distressed on Monday morning. The school received visits by Education Minister Pap Ndiaye and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, and psychological support teams have been sent to comfort pupils.
"My daughter cried all weekend, she hasn't slept a wink," Gasmi, a father of two, told Le Parisien newspaper. "We can't trust anyone now in our neighbourhood. I am very afraid for my children."
"It's turned me upside-down," a local woman told the paper. "This morning I followed my son on the way to school, just a few metres behind him. Just to be safe.
"I'll take him to school from now on and I'll go and get him too. If he finishes at half past four, I'll leave work at four. It's non-negotiable."
Brigitte Macron, wife of the president, said it was an "absolutely abominable and intolerable tragedy".

Paris murder: Killing of Lola, 12, sparks immigration row in France

Paris murder: Killing of Lola, 12, sparks immigration row in France​

• • Published
    

18 October
Grief and outrage in France over the murder of a 12-year-old girl found dumped in a plastic trunk in Paris has turned into a political row over the migrant status of the suspect.
Lola's body was found last Friday in a courtyard outside the apartment block where she lived.
A 24-year-old woman has been remanded in custody on suspicion of murder, rape as well as acts of torture.
It has also emerged she is an Algerian immigrant under orders to leave France.
Shortly after President Emmanuel Macron met the murdered girl's parents at the Élysée Palace on Tuesday and promised his full support, political opponents on the right and far right accused the government of failing the family.
During an animated session in the National Assembly, Marine Le Pen of the far-right National Rally party condemned the government's "lax" migration policy.

"The suspect in this barbaric act should not have been in our country; what's keeping you from finally putting a stop to this uncontrolled, clandestine immigration?" she said.
Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne appealed to her to "show a little decency" and respect the parents' pain and Lola's memory, saying: "Let the police and judiciary do their job."
Lola disappeared last Friday after failing to make the short walk home from school in the 19th district of north-east Paris. By late evening her body had been found inside a trunk on wheels.
A post-mortem examination found she had suffered cardiorespiratory failure "with signs of asphyxiation and cervical compression". Wounds were found to her face, back and neck but had not led to her death.

As her father is the building's caretaker, he soon retrieved CCTV video showing the suspect, Dahbia B, with his daughter in the hall of the block of flats on Friday afternoon. A man aged 43 has been accused of helping to hide the girl's body.
The government's political opponents have been quick to highlight Dahbia B's status as an illegal immigrant.

She was initially stopped at a French airport on 20 August because her residence permit had run out. She had entered France legally as a student six years ago. Dahbia B was told to leave French territory within a month, under an order known as an OQTF (obligation de quitter le territoire français).
Although some orders are more immediate, Dahbia B had no criminal record so she was not placed in detention. OQTF orders are notorious because only one in 10 are observed, and Algerians are among the nationalities considered most likely to abuse the system.
Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin appealed to the far right to reflect on the consequences of their words, after far-right former presidential candidate Éric Zemmour labelled the crime a "Francocide", or the killing of a French person. There was, the minister told RTL radio, a great deal of indecency in some of the political responses.
Several other figures on the right were also critical of the government, with Republican MP Éric Pauget telling the justice minister that "Lola lost her life because you didn't expel this national".

Mystery surrounds the motive behind the killing and the suspect's lawyer has condemned the various rumours circulating locally. The Paris prosecutor has revealed that a figure one and a zero were written under the victim's feet, but have not suggested why.
One potential motive cited by sources close to the investigation is a dispute between the main suspect and Lola's mother. Dahbia B had been living in the same building with her sister but when she asked for a pass to enter the block of flats Lola's mother refused.

The suspect is being held in isolation at Fresnes prison, south of Paris. Reports suggest she was a victim of domestic abuse several year ago and she is due to undergo a psychiatric examination.
A silent protest in tribute to Lola has been called off on Wednesday after a request from the family. However, a rally is expected to take place the following day, at which several far-right politicians are expected to take part.

Killing of Lola Daviet​

On 14 October 2022, at about 16:30 (UTC+1), Johan Daviet reported the disappearance of his daughter to a police station after she failed to return home from school.[6] As the caretaker of the apartment building, he consulted CCTV footage.[7] Lola was seen entering the building at 15:20, before following a woman, suspected to be Dahbia Benkired.[6][8] According to Benkired's initial confession, she lured Lola into her sister's apartment and ordered the girl to shower. She then forced her victim to perform cunnilingus on her before putting adhesive tape on the girl's face.[9] After Lola's death, Benkired stabbed the body.[10] Lola's mother, Delphine, posted a message on Facebook at 18:45 reporting her daughter's disappearance.[6]

Police found duct tape and a box cutter in the apartment building's basement, and started a criminal investigation.[11] At 23:30, a homeless man reported the discovery of a body inside of a travel trunk, the body had been mutilated and tied up.[12]

Suspect​

On 17 October, 24-year-old Dahbia Benkired was indicted on charges of "murder of a minor under 15" and "rape with torture and acts of barbarism".[13][14] Born in Algiers, Benkired came to France legally in May 2016 on a student visa.[14][15] She had had no prior criminal record and was known to police as a victim of domestic violence in 2018.[16] She is currently being held in isolation at Fresnes Prison.[7]

Benkired had no job or home, and lived with an acquaintance in Val-de-Marne and her 26-year-old sister in the 19th arrondissement of Paris.[17][18] Her sister testified to investigators that Benkired had been making incoherent statements at night.[16] Daviet's mother, the caretaker of the apartment where Benkired's sister lived, rejected Benkired's request for a pass to enter the apartment on her own.[19][20]

Benkired was not known to psychiatric services, and was declared mentally fit to be interviewed by police.[16] Benkired's lawyer, Alexandre Silva, denied that the murder was motivated by race.[21]

On 21 August, Benkired was detained at Orly Airport for having neither a plane ticket nor valid identity papers, and was issued an obligation to leave the French territory (French: Obligation de quitter le territoire français; OQTF) the same day.[16][15] As she had no criminal record, she was not sent to a detention centre, but given 30 days to return to Algeria.[16]

Investigation​

During her interrogation, Benkired fluctuated between accepting and denying responsibility, and said that her account of committing the crime was actually a recall of a dream. At points, she blamed the crime on an armed stranger, or a ghost. When shown pictures of the dead body, she said "That doesn't make me hot, or cold. I was raped too and I saw my parents die in front of me". She said that her motive was her dispute with the victim's mother.[16][10]

Reaction​

After the suspect was identified as having ignored an order to leave French territory, political figures of the right and far-right attacked the government of President Emmanuel Macron for the crime. In the National Assembly, Marine Le Pen of the National Rally (RN) attacked prime minister Élisabeth Borne, who responded by saying that the crime should be left to the police and judiciary. Éric Zemmour of Reconquête coined the term "Francocide" to describe the murder of a French person, for which he was criticised by Gérald Darmanin, the Minister of the Interior. Éric Pauget of The Republicans told the minister of justice Éric Dupond-Moretti that "Lola lost her life because you didn't expel this national".[7]

Macron met Daviet's parents.[22] He condemned the murder as an act of "extreme evil"[23] and the Minister of the Interior was present at Lola's funeral.[24] Her parents called on politicians to not exploit the crime.[25]

PARIS, FRANCE: A homeless woman has been taken into custody and charged with the tragic death of a 12-year-old schoolgirl after her body parts were found inside a suitcase in Paris. Dahbia B has been accused of raping and torturing Lola Daviet before killing her on Friday, October 14.
The indictment of the 24-year-old suspect happened after the victim’s remains were reportedly discovered in the inner courtyard of a building in the suitcase with "1" and "0" marked on her chest. The little girl’s feet and wrists were reportedly tied and her face was taped. Later, a post-mortem report released on Saturday, October 15, stated that her cause of death was asphyxiation after a physical attack. The examination also concluded that a knife was used to mutilate her body.

An investigation source, as reported by The Daily Mail, said, “The suspect had boasted about selling body parts. Evidence suggests that the girl was taken into the basement of the flat, where she was tortured, and raped, before being strangled and having her throat cut. The suspect is believed to suffer with serious psychological problems. She was living on the street, but had friends and family in the Paris area.”

Also, a judicial source claimed that the arrested woman has been slapped with “the murder of a child under 15, rape, and torture” charges. Before Dahbia was charged, local law enforcement officials had suspected and detained six people, including the suspect’s elder sister Friha. Now they, however, are being treated as innocents but a 43-year-old man is facing charges for apparently providing Dahbia with a car over the weekend.

According to an insider, “The alleged murderer somehow earned her victim's confidence and led her into a cellar below the building, where the attack happened. The attacker had been talking about selling organs and body parts, but none of this makes sense. She acted alone and gratuitously, and defiled her victim before killing her.”
This comes after Lola’s mother, Delphine, had shared a post on Facebook in the hope of finding her daughter. She had posted a photo of her daughter as well as the accused while writing, “Alert abduction of our daughter Lola seen last time at 15:20 in the company of a girl we don't know in our residence. She got white jeans on A white sweater with a hood As well as his grey backpack. Please help us find her. Don't hesitate to call the police at the Paris police station 75019 Or call us at 0652897307 Or 0695346676.”

Besides, previously a witness had reportedly said, “We saw her entering the building. She [the suspect] was alone, and she came out a little later. We saw her half-an-hour later with the suitcase, she was speaking to everyone, she looked a little crazy. She was struggling to carry the suitcase, we thought it was because it was heavy items and she was quite slim - we never thought it was a body. It was 5pm and she was walking around with that suitcase, she even left it outside a café and went to the bakery opposite to buy a croissant as it nothing had happened.”
