Emmanuel Macron expressed “all his solidarity and all his support” to the parents of Lola, 12, a schoolgirl murdered in Paris, whom he received on Tuesday, October 18 at the Élysée. “He presented his condolences to them and assured them of all his solidarity and support in the ordeal they are going through and which upsets us all,” said the Elysée. A 24-year-old woman was indicted Monday for “murder” and “aggravated rape” and then imprisoned, three days after the discovery, Friday in a trunk in the capital.
The Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, for her part invited Marine Le Pen to “decency” and respect for “the pain of the family”, while the boss of the RN insisted during questions to the government in the National Assembly on the fact that “the suspect of this barbaric act should not have been on our territory “. “Let the police and justice do (their) work”, insisted Elisabeth Borne again, believing that “our responsibility to all is to let justice punish this crime to the height of what it deserves”.
The Minister of Justice, Éric Dupond-Moretti, had meanwhile estimated, in response to a question from the deputy LR Éric Pauget, that “doing petty politics, petty poloche, using the coffin of a little girl from 12 years as we use a running board, it’s a shame”. “Do not add to the most absolute atrocity the trade unworthy of demagoguery”, he added.
A suspect under an obligation to leave the territory
Algerian, the suspect of the murder, who would suffer from mental disorders, was known to the police as a victim of domestic violence in 2018, we learned Monday from a source close to the investigation. The young woman entered France legally in 2016 with a student residence permit.
But, on August 21, she was arrested at a French airport for lack of a residence permit. An obligation to leave French territory (OQTF) was then automatically notified to him on August 22, “without obligation to immediately leave the national territory. It is a voluntary departure, ”said Éric Dupond-Moretti.
A white march announced by some sources for Wednesday will ultimately not take place, according to a source close to the town hall on 19e arrondissement of Paris, but several elected officials, including Jordan Bardella (RN), said they were going to a rally “in tribute to Lola” on Thursday evening.
