Tuesday, October 26, more than three years after the crime, Daniel Knoll finally found himself facing the two suspected murderers of his mother. He expects only one thing from the jurors of the Assize Court, that they pronounce the maximum penalty. “Can you imagine what it is like to know that your mother was murdered by eleven strokes of knife and burnt. You imagine they could come out in ten or fifteen years and kill your mother or your grandmother “, testifies Daniel Knoll in front of the entrance of the Assize Court of Paris.
On March 23, 2018, Mireille Knoll was savagely killed at her home in Paris and then burned after the attackers took the time to set her apartment on fire. Investigators arrest two men, Yacine Mihoub, a neighbor of Mireille Knol, and Alex Carrimbacus, both are repeat offenders. “We know who is the leader, we know who is the leader, we know who is the anti-Semite, we know the course of the crime”, confesses Me Gilles-William Goldnadel, lawyer for the Knoll family.
