Dahbia Benkired to Face Trial for 2022 Murder of 12-Year-Old Lola

The Algerian woman accused of killing Lola in Paris will be tried at the assizes, facing charges of murder with preceding acts of violence.

Dahbia Benkired is accused of the murder, torture, and sexual assault of 12-year-old Lola in October 2022 in Paris.
The case has sparked national outrage and brought attention to immigration enforcement issues, as Benkired was under an unexecuted deportation order.
Psychiatric evaluations found Benkired criminally responsible, noting manipulative behaviors and a pathological personality but no major psychiatric disorder.
Lola's body was discovered in a plastic container in her apartment building's courtyard, with autopsy confirming death by asphyxiation.
The trial aims to provide clarity and justice, with both the prosecution and defense seeking a fair and thorough judicial process.
