Lola, found dead in a suitcase, was buried Monday in Lillers, France. Several hundred people and French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin attended the funeral, various media reported. The parents wished a dignified farewell, “far from political excitement”, according to the television channel BFMTV.
The 12-year-old’s body was discovered nearly ten days ago in a suitcase in a courtyard in northern Paris with wounds to the neck. The case sparked outrage across the country. Justice is investigating a woman suspected of murdering a minor, rape and torture. She was taken into custody. A suspected accomplice is also being examined for the removal of the body. He was released under judicial supervision.
Case is instrumentalized
The prime suspect, believed to be from Algeria, reportedly resided in France illegally after her study visa expired. Several right-wing politicians therefore blame the government for a too lax migration policy. Demonstrations by right-wing groups took place in several cities this weekend.
