The Paris prosecution wants the two suspects in the murder of Mireille Knoll, a Jewish octogenarian killed in Paris in March 2018, to be tried at the assizes for an anti-Semitic crime, we learned Thursday from the prosecution.
On March 23, 2018, the victim's body was found stabbed with 11 stab wounds and partially charred in his apartment in an HLM in eastern Paris. The autopsy revealed that the victim had died even before the fire. Two men, the son of a neighbor and a marginal, who reject responsibility for the crime, were charged during the investigation.
Mireille Knoll, of Jewish faith, was 85 years old and had lived alone since the death of her husband, a survivor of the Auschwitz camp. She herself had narrowly escaped the Vél d'Hiv roundup in July 1942.
