Yacine Mihoub was convicted of the murder of Mireille Knoll, committed March 23, 2018 in Paris, with “aggravating circumstances that he knew that the victim was vulnerable and because of his membership in the Jewish religion.” Mihoub Yacine, 32, was sentenced to life imprisonment. The court followed the prosecution submissions.
His co-accused, Alex Carrimbacus was acquitted of murder but was found guilty of “aggravated theft”, especially “because of the affiliation of the victim to the Jewish religion.” He was sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment. This is less than the request made yesterday by the Advocate General who had requested eighteen years imprisonment against him.
Zoulikha Khellaf, the mother of Yacine Mihoub, convicted of “destroying evidence” was sentenced to three years in prison, two of which were suspended. It is not incarcerated. She must wear an electronic tag.

Who did what ? And according to what precise scenario? The judicial truth and judgment rendered after the hearing does not say. The camera in the afternoon of March 23, 2018 in which the drama is knotted at M me Knoll on the second floor of 30 Avenue Philippe-Auguste in Paris – from 16 hours to 17 hours about 30 – will remain a dark secret that only share Yacine Mihoub and Alex Carrimbacus
