While he denied the facts during his trial, the choice of Yacine Mihoub is no surprise.
The 32-year-old man sentenced to life imprisonment for the anti-Semitic murder of Mireille Knoll in 2018 appealed against the judgment, we learned on Monday from his lawyer, Me Charles Consigny, confirming information from RTL.
On November 10, the Paris Assize Court found him guilty of having killed in Paris on March 23, 2018 Mireille Knoll, aged 85, with eleven stab wounds and accompanied his sentence with a safety period of twenty-two years.
The old lady, who had escaped the Vel 'd'Hiv roundup in 1942, was a neighbor of his mother's apartment building and he had had a special relationship with her since he was a child.
A "global anti-Semitic context"
The court ruled that the facts had taken place in a "global anti-Semitic context" and that "the villainous character was fueled by hatred because of the victim's membership" of the "Jewish religion" and by " beliefs that wealth may be concealed ”in the victim's accommodation.
His co-accused, Alex Carrimbacus, 25, was cleared of the murder but sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment with a two-thirds safety sentence for aggravated theft from the victim.
The anti-Semitic character was also retained for him, as well as the aggravating circumstance of the vulnerability of Mireille Knoll, very weakened by Parkinson's disease.
Yacine Mihoub's mother, Zoulikha Khellaf, was sentenced to three years in prison, including one year at home under electronic surveillance.
She was found guilty of destroying objects and cleaning up the murder weapon.
