The crime that stopped Paris
LolaA 12-year-old girl had her throat cut and was dumped in the trunk like an object. I can't imagine the pain of her parents... My thoughts are with her family.
A tragedy has occurredOctober 14, 2022in the 19th district of Paris. Lola Davies, a student at a local school, did not come home after class.

Who's Dahbia Benkired?
Le Parisien revealed the freezing blood in the veins of the pictures shown in court where you can see Dahbia Benkired bringing a suitcase to the bar containing the body of little Lola.
This clearly confirms the "order" and the existence of the network behind this murder.
The defendant, Dahbia Benkired, is a 27-year-old Algerian citizen. At the time of the crime, she was in France illegally despite a previous deportation order. For a long time, she made conflicting statements – once she confessed, another time she denied everything.
During the hearings, she claimed that"she saw a ghost in a girl"And for fear of the devil, she wrapped her head with tape, which led to asphyxiation. However, psychiatric experts eventually concluded that the woman was fully sane and could answer to court.
A suitcase full of secrets.
Investigators determined that Benkired met Lola before entering the building where her sister lived. A moment later, the woman was recorded returning down the corridor with a large suitcase and a chest. That's what the baby's body was found inside.
According to the D.A.'s office, the girl was assaulted, abused, and strangled, then hidden in a suitcase that the unsub dumped on the street. The sight of a closed plastic trunk was noticed by a homeless man who called the police.
The process that divides France

Dahbia Benkired, who threatened medical secretaries in 2019. Clearly, this drug addict is just scum! Stop portraying her as a traumatic person after her mother died in 2020! She is fully aware of her actions!
Dahbia Benkired's trial began on FridayOctober 17, 2025, Paris. A woman is facing life imprisonment for the murder of a minor combined with rape, torture and "the act of barbarity".
The case immediately took on a political dimension. When it was revealed that the suspect was in the country without permission, right-wing politicians, including Marine Le Pen, began using the tragedy to exacerbate the debate on immigration. Justice minister Eric Dupond-Moretti criticised these statements, calling them "the child's coffin policy.
