Monday October 24, 2022, the funeral of little Lola, discovered dead in a trunk in Paris, will take place in Lilles, in Pas-de-Calais. Before the ceremony, his parents called for respect.
On Friday October 14, little Lola, a 12-year-old schoolgirl, was found dead in a trunk in Paris. A few hours after the discovery of her body, Dahbia B., a 24-year-old woman in an irregular situation, was arrested and suspected of murder. According to the first elements of the investigation, she would have raped, tortured and kidnapped Lola, before killing her with asphyxiant.
A week after the terrible discovery, a rally “to pay tribute to Lola” was organized in Fouquereuil, a town in Béthunois where the father of the young schoolgirl is from. The mayor of the town, Gérard Ogiez announced that Lola’s parents had decided to leave Paris to come back to live in the city. “Before their final return, this is an opportunity to come and show them all our compassion in these moments of great sorrow.” did he declare.
Lola’s parents call for respect at her funeral
If a rally is scheduled for Monday, October 21, girl’s funeral will be held on Monday, October 24, at Saint-Omer collegiate church in Lillers, near Bethune. This is the home town of Lola’s mother. The ceremony will be celebrated by the Bishop of Arras, Olivier Leborgne, as indicated in the communication from the diocese.
For the occasion, his parents decided to come out of the silence in a press release authenticated by the mayor of Lilliers, Carole Dubois, as relayed BFM TV. “In the dread and pain in which we are, we aspire to peace and meditation to mourn“they announced before continuing:”For the memory of Lola, we hope that the various ceremonies take place in a spirit of serenity and calm, far from political and media agitation“.
A ceremony organized “without official scarves”.
The parents of little Lola have invited all the French wishing to go to the funeral of their daughter to move, while specifying that the burial in the cemetery would be done “in the strictest privacy“. They also specified about the case: “We understand the desire for information to understand the incomprehensible, but it must be done with dignity and respect“.
Finally, the parents of the schoolgirl wanted to make a somewhat special request concerning their daughter’s funeral. They explained: “The support of an entire population is a precious help in overcoming this painful ordeal. But we hope that those who come to lend their support“do it”without official scarves or particular sign of belonging to a political organization“. An important clarification given the massive appropriation of the case by different political parties.
