(AP) The family of a 12-year-old French girl who was brutally killed and had her body found in a plastic box led a silent march Wednesday in her honor through their Paris neighborhood.
The parents of the girl, identified publicly only as Lola, delayed the march for weeks because their daughter’s death last month became a political flash point. Her middle school classmates attended Wednesday’s event, but the family begged politicians to stay away out of respect for her memory.
People across France with anti-immigrant attitudes seized on Lola’s slaying because the main suspect is an Algerian woman who had been ordered to leave France.
