Indicted for murder, rape, acts of torture and barbarity and placed in pre-trial detention, the one who was already known to the police as a victim, admitted having committed a real torture, before retracting. Lola suffered sexual violence before she died of suffocation.

Dhabia B first recounted having attracted the schoolgirl to her on Friday afternoon, when she was leaving school, according to BFMTV. She took her to her sister’s house, with whom she lodges from time to time, domiciled in the same building at 19e district in Paris than Lola and her family.

• Sexual and physical violence and torture
