A horrific incident unfolded as a 12-year-old girl fell victim to a brutal assault, leading to her tragic death. Lola Daviet’s lifeless body was discovered inside a suitcase in Paris, sparking a prompt police response that resulted in the arrest of Dahbia Benkired, then 24 years old. Benkired has now made history by becoming the first woman in France to receive a life sentence without the possibility of parole for her involvement in the appalling crimes.
Details revealed in court shed light on the harrowing final moments of Lola’s life. The young girl, who cherished family camping trips, encountered Benkired, a homeless immigrant from Algeria, outside her residence. Surveillance footage captured Benkired illicitly entering the building and wandering the hallways, ultimately leading to a fatal encounter with Lola.
The last known images of Lola show her encountering Benkired in the hallway, moments before tragedy struck. Benkired confessed in court that she coerced Lola to accompany her, only to subject her to a series of horrific acts culminating in her death. The sequence of events included rape, followed by the use of tape sourced from Benkired’s sister’s residence to immobilize Lola, ultimately leading to her demise.
Subsequent actions by Benkired involved concealing the body in a suitcase after inflicting further injuries on the young girl. CCTV footage captured Benkired leaving the scene with suitcases, strategically propping open the building’s entrance before disposing of the victim’s body.
During the trial proceedings in Paris, Benkired was vilified by the victim’s family as a “monster devil” and rightfully sentenced to life imprisonment for her monstrous deeds. Notably, her sentence aligns with notorious criminals such as Salah Abdeslam, a member of the ISIS group responsible for the tragic Paris attacks in 2015.
