Murder of Paris student fuels anger at failed deportation

(BBC) The murder of a 19-year-old female student in an exclusive neighbourhood of Paris is fuelling new calls from the French right for tougher action on immigration.

The body of the young woman, named only as Philippine, was found on Saturday, half-buried in the Bois de Boulogne park on the western edge of the capital.

She had last been seen on Friday lunchtime a few hundred metres away, as she left the Paris-Dauphine university campus where she was studying economics.

He is a 22-year-old Moroccan man who was released from detention in France earlier this month after serving five years for raping a student in 2019.
