DThe fate of 85-year-old Holocaust survivor Mireille Knoll shook France. In March 2018, the weak and unarmed woman was stabbed to death by 11 in a Paris apartment because she was Jewish.

The prosecutor emphasized that if this process is to serve anything, it is to generate a new understanding of the challenges posed by anti-Semitism derived from Islamic ideology.
“A particularly brutal murder”
The perpetrator and the victim are no strangers to each other. Hatred is not caused by ignorance of the other party’s religion and living conditions. Mueller said: “They live in the same society, in the same apartment building, under similar socio-economic conditions.” People must thoroughly analyze this fact.
Anti-Semitism has repeatedly erupted in French history. Since then, legislation has integrated the theme of anti-Semitism. The prosecutor requested that the anti-Semitic motives of the main defendant Yacine Mihoub be regarded as an aggravated punishment. He demanded that the 32-year-old man who “committed a particularly brutal murder” be imprisoned for life and 22 years in safe detention.
Although Mihob finally denied that he attacked a Parkinson patient with a knife, the prosecutor believed that the guilt had been confirmed. “Mihob is lying,” Mueller said. The changing description of the course of events is not conclusive.
He mentioned Mihob’s prejudice against Jews, who are all rich and control the media and politics. In his detention cell, Mihob wrote Amédy Coulibalys’ name on the wall out of admiration. He attacked a Jewish supermarket on the morning of January 9, 2015, and shot and killed four French people with Jewish beliefs. .
A glass of port before the murder
The prosecutor also demanded that the mother of the main defendant, Zoulikha Khelaf, be sentenced to the highest penalty for destroying evidence. He requested that the 59-year-old mother be sentenced to three years in prison without parole. She threw away the Port wine bottle, glass and Mirel Knoll’s cell phone to let the evidence disappear. Although the court followed the prosecutor in the case of the principal offender, the verdict on his mother and accomplice was lighter than required.

This sociable old lady poured a glass of Port wine for the neighbor in her apartment before he attacked her with a knife, probably because the Jews had an argument with money. The prosecutor said that Hlav’s actions made it difficult to solve the case. Against the second defendant, 26-year-old Alex Carrimbacus (Alex Carrimbacus), he demanded a sentence of 18 years in prison and 9 years in safety imprisonment.
Carrimbacus did not commit murder, but a particularly heinous act of theft. He tried to rob Noel, “a dead woman whose body is still warm.” However, he didn’t steal much because there was nothing to steal. He also gave Mihoub a lighter so that he could light the apartment.
