Algerian woman who ‘tortured and killed girl, 12, murdered her because she was angry with her ex-boyfriend’ and felt ‘an almost sexual pleasure from abusing her’

An Algerian woman who stands accused of torturing, raping, and killing a 12-year-old girl is said to have received ‘an almost sexual pleasure’ while carrying out the violent acts.

Dahbia Benkired, 27, an Algerian migrant living in France, allegedly lured schoolgirl Lola Daviet into her apartment on October 14, 2022. She is currently on day four of her six-day trial at the Paris Assize Court.

Benkired, who had been homeless and reportedly earning money as a prostitute at the time, is accused of partially severing Lola’s head and suffocating her as revenge for the girl’s mother refusing to give her a key to an apartment block.

But in court on Wednesday, Nicolas Estano, 47, a clinical psychologist and expert witness, claimed it was text messages between Benkired and her ex-partner Mustapha M, that led her to allegedly committing the gruesome crimes.
