Woman, 24, charged with murder, rape & torture after girl, 12, found with throat slit stuffed inside suitcase | The Sun
A WOMAN has been charged with murder, rape and torture after the body of a 12-year-old girl was found stuffed in a suitcase.
Dahbia B., 24, originally from Algeria, appeared before examining magistrates in Paris on Monday and was indicted in connection with the gruesome killing of Lola Daviet, 12.
It comes after chilling CCTV footage shows both the alleged murderer and her victim next to the block of flats where Lola lived.
Lola’s horribly mutilated body was later found close to the building, in the city’s 19th arrondissement, where she lived with her parents, Delphine and Johan Daviet.
They had reported her missing on Friday, after fearing she had been kidnapped when she failed to return from school.
Lola’s corpse was then found bound and gagged inside the suitcase, with the numbers 1 and 0 scrawled across her chest.

The source added: "The suspect is believed to suffer from serious psychological problems.

A judicial source confirmed that Dahbia B was in custody and charged with "the murder of a child under 15, rape, and torture."
The suspect was arrested on Saturday at her sister’s home in the northern Paris suburb of Bois-Colombe.
BFMTV reports that a man in his 40s was also arrested as he was suspected of helping the alleged killer carry the girl's body.
A post-mortem examination on Saturday concluded that Lola died of asphyxiation following a physical attack that included a knife being used to cut her body.
CCTV footage from the building where Lola lived shows her carrying a schoolbag as she walks into the building with Dahbia B.
The security camera footage was shot at 3.20 pm on Friday, and witnesses have also told police about seeing Lola and Dahbia B. together.
One resident said he saw the suspect dragging the suitcase around two hours prior to Lola's disappearance.
He said: "We saw her go into the building, and she was dragging the suitcase with her. She did not seem right in the mind."
Others saw the suspect drinking a coffee and eating a croissant as she appeared to "try and work out what to do next".
The girl's father, who is a caretaker for the building where the 12-year-old disappeared from, had started to worry when the little girl failed to return home after leaving school at 3 pm on Friday.
By 5pm, her worried mother went to the police station to report her missing.
She posted an image of Lola, with a message saying: "Our daughter Lola was last seen at 3:20pm in the company of a woman we do not know in our residence."
