On the orders of the “boss”, they made the body of the prostitute disappear that she had just killed … before the principal dies herself in the fire on to cover the crime scene . Four “nickel -plated” feet of cleaning “, under the terms of a lawyer for the file, are tried from Monday, May 16 before the Assises de Paris. The trial was briefly opened in May 2021 before being returned due to COVID-19.
On August 3, 2016, it is around 6 p.m. when a huge explosion is shaking the third floor of a building on a quiet street of 15 e arrondissement of Paris. The neighbors see a man coming out, disoriented, covered with soot and seriously burned. He goes on track.
The intervention of firefighters is complicated by the violence of fire. When they manage to circumscribe it, they find on the landing of the apartment the calcined body of a woman. On the bottom of his belly, a tattoo: “MP”. Earlier in the afternoon, a neighbor saw a young woman scream, tremble, cry at the apartment window for about twenty minutes, before another brings her back to the interior and pulls the curtain, he will tell the police.
Investigators quickly discover that the fire is not accidental. There are traces of petrol everywhere. The charred body is identified: it is that of Maria-Paz G., a 26-year-old Spanish, occasionally escort girl but who mainly made work other young women, Spanish or South American, in several Parisian apartments.
The man who fled is also identified. Mourad B., 24, a “good to nothing”, according to his uncle who stopped hosting him. The police find him in a hotel. Bras and legs bandaged with dressings, he has been lying on the bed of a room he has not left for three weeks. At the sight of the police, he throws himself on the ground. Its wounds give off a pestilential odor. He has too much pain to explain himself, he said before being hospitalized.
a “dinguerie”
The police easily find the trace of his alleged accomplices thanks to his unacceptable telephone conversations about a “dinguerie”. We talk about two women killed. One “Cannée on site”, “Lebru” (burned), named Maria-Paz. The other, “Schlassée” (stabbed), whose body would have been transported in the “ve-ca” (cellar) of a squat.
This second body is found, wrapped in four layers of sheets, duvet and curtain, under the trash of a Parisian basement. It is Alixon O., a 26-year-old Colombian who had recently been prostituted for Maria-Paz. She was stabbed with thirty stab wounds. Over the arrests, the police quickly reconstitute the facts.
This August 3, 2016, Maria-Paz brought to the apartment one of her friends, Moncef D. arriving there, he hears a girl howl. Maria-Paz tells her that the girl threatens to denounce her to the police for money stories and offers 20,000 euros to “get rid of her”. Moncef D. and a friend, Kamel Z., are suitable for a “good plan”. They will make Maria -Paz believe that they killed the girl – that they intend to let go – and recover the money. But when they go up in the apartment, Maria-Paz has her hands and face covered with blood. “Finish”, she says.
The two men are afraid and run away. Maria-Paz recalls them. She needs help to clean the crime scene, she offers 15,000 euros to get rid of the body and clean the apartment. Kamel Z. returns and, with Mourad B. and three other accomplices, goes up an operation. The “cleaners” rub the walls and floors with bleach but that is not enough. “You have to set fire,” said Maria-Paz. It is she who turns on the lighter that will trigger the blast, says Mourad B. Maria-Paz is killed instantly.
From “anything”, summarizes a lawyer for the file. “They are not angels but they do not have their shoulders at all for what they did,” he said, speaking of “nickel-plated feet of cleaning”. They appear for the concealment of the body and the non-denunciation of the crime. A prostitute who was in the apartment with Maria-Paz when she killed Alixon appears for complicity in murder. The trial is planned to last three weeks.
