A 12-year-old girl was tragically found dead in a trunk near her parents’ workplace after CCTV footage captured her arrival home from school. The disturbing incident unfolded with the revelation that the girl had allegedly suffered brutal acts of rape, torture, and murder at the hands of Dahbia Benkired, an Algerian woman residing in the same apartment complex as the victim.
During the court proceedings this week, graphic details emerged regarding the harrowing ordeal the young girl, Lola Daviet, endured before her untimely death. Reports indicated that she was subjected to heinous acts including rape, scissor and box cutter attacks, partial decapitation, and suffocation by Benkired, who purportedly carried out the vicious assault as retaliation for the girl’s mother denying her access to the building.
Forensic evidence presented in court highlighted that Lola had sustained 38 wounds on her back and neck, leading to her demise from asphyxiation. The court also heard testimony from a doctor describing the extensive physical, psychological, and emotional suffering the victim endured, emphasizing the profound impact of the asphyxiation and head injuries on her.
Further revelations in court shed light on the extent of Lola’s injuries, including visible trauma to her genitals and other body parts. Benkired, the accused, reportedly confessed to the crime soon after her arrest, expressing remorse for her actions and seeking forgiveness from Lola’s family during the trial proceedings.
Benkired, who had been living in France since 2013, faced deportation prior to the incident for overstaying her visa. The investigation uncovered incriminating evidence in her residence, including blood traces on scissors and knives. Lola’s grieving family, donning t-shirts bearing poignant messages in court, demanded justice for their beloved daughter, emphasizing the profound loss they have endured.
Amidst a backdrop of a troubled upbringing and personal struggles, Benkired cited past abuse and mental health issues as contributing factors to the tragic events. As the trial continues, French law mandates a thorough examination of motive and circumstances despite the defendant’s admission of guilt. The accused potentially faces a life sentence as the legal proceedings progress.
