"Algerian national Dahbia Benkired, now aged 27, was detained after Lola Daviet went missing in the northeast of the capital three years ago, and her body was then found in a trunk in the lobby of the building where her father and mother worked as caretakers. Conservative and far-right politicians seized on the case to call for better immigration law enforcement, after Benkired was found to have overstayed a student visa and failed to comply with a notice to leave France."
"An hour and a half earlier, security footage showed Benkired approaching the girl as she returned from school, then leading her into the flat her sister occupied in the building. Investigators say Benkired raped and hit the schoolgirl with scissors and a box cutter, then bound her up in duct tape, including around her face, leading to her death by asphyxia."
A 27-year-old Algerian national, Dahbia Benkired, was detained after 12-year-old Lola Daviet disappeared in northeast Paris three years ago. Her body was discovered in a trunk in the lobby of the building where her parents worked as caretakers. Security footage showed Benkired approach Lola as she returned from school and lead her into her sister’s flat. Investigators allege Benkired raped the girl, assaulted her with scissors and a box cutter, bound her with duct tape including around the face, and caused death by asphyxia. Benkired moved the body in a trunk, left the building, and was arrested the following day. Political debate over immigration enforcement followed while the victim’s mother urged politicians not to exploit the death.
