French Court Sentences Algerian Woman to Life Imprisonment
A French court sentenced an Algerian woman, Dahbia Benkired, to life imprisonment without parole for raping, torturing, and murdering a 12-year-old schoolgirl, Lola Daviet, in Paris.
Benkired, 27, received an "irreducible life sentence" for the 2022 crime, making her the first woman to receive this maximum sentence under the French penal code.
"We believed in justice and we got it," said Lola's mother, Delphine Daviet, following the verdict.
The case sparked anti-immigration fervour as Benkired did not have the right to be in France. The sentence is the harshest under the French penal code.
