Yacine Mihoub, sentenced Wednesday, November 10 at the Assizes in Paris to life imprisonment for the murder “with an anti-Semitic character” of Mireille Knoll in 2018, appealed against his conviction, learns franceinfo from his lawyer Charles Consigny, confirming information from RTL.
There will therefore be a second trial in this Mireille Knoll case. Yacine Mihoub, neighbor of the octogenarian killed in 2018 aged 31, has always claimed his innocence. On November 10, his sentence was accompanied by a safety period of 22 years, the court retaining the “anti-Semitic nature” of the crime.
His co-accused, Alex Carrimbacus had been acquitted for the murder of the octogenarian but sentenced on the other hand to a 15-year prison sentence with a two-thirds safety sentence for aggravated theft from the victim.
Mireille Knoll was killed on March 23, 2018. Called for a fire in an HLM building in eastern Paris, firefighters discovered the partially charred body of the octogenarian, larded by eleven stab wounds. Mireille Knoll, had fled Paris in 1942 to escape the Vel D’hiv roundup. His death had aroused great emotion, one after the murder of Sarah Halimi, a Jewish sexagenarian, by a man ultimately considered criminally irresponsible.
