Dahbia Benkired was sentenced on October 24, 2025, to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for the brutal murder, rape, and torture of 12-year-old Lola in Paris in October 2022. This is the first time a woman has received such a sentence under French law. The court described the crime as 'extremely cruel,' involving 'true torture' and 'almost unspeakable' suffering inflicted on Lola, with the verdict emphasizing the severity and brutality of the acts. The prosecution highlighted her extreme danger, personality traits described as 'psychopathic,' and the absence of any psychiatric pathology that could mitigate her responsibility. Dahbia Benkired, 27, was found guilty of multiple charges including murder, rape, torture, and barbarity, with the court taking into account the psychological harm caused to Lola and her family, and the 'dehumanization' of the victim. Her defense indicated that she might appeal the sentence, which was met with emotional reactions from Lola’s family, who expressed relief and gratitude for justice. The case drew attention for its unprecedented nature and the extreme cruelty involved. The court also noted her attempt to escape and deceive authorities after the crime, and her lack of remorse, with her last words being a plea for forgiveness. The verdict underscores the gravity of the crimes and the societal need for protection, with legal experts describing the case as one of the most brutal and rare in French judicial history.
