the terrible find
The lifeless body of the girl appeared on Friday night in a common area of the building where she lived, after her parents reported the disappearance of the young woman who did not return from her educational center located a few meters away.
As it became known, a homeless man reported to the police the discovery of an opaque box containing the body of a young woman in the inner courtyard of a building.
The minor’s body was hidden in cloth, according to sources close to the file. Next to the box were two carry-on bags.
According to the autopsy, Lola died of suffocation. The first checks indicated significant injuries to her neck and several numbers inscribed along her body.
The police maintain the secrecy of the investigations but several leaks to local media indicate that the corpse had cuts to the throat and was bound with packing tape.
In addition, French newspapers such as The Figaropoint out that Lola would have been raped and tortured.
The investigation tries to determine what motivated and what happened from the disappearance of the minor until the discovery of her body.

The prosecution charged the woman on Monday with the crimes of homicide and rape with acts of torture and barbarism. In addition, she was placed under detention.
The mayor of Paris and other political leaders expressed their shock on Monday at the death of the minor.
“Paris mourns little Lola. Our thoughts are with her and her family,” tweeted councilor Anne Hidalgo, who visited the Georges Brassens secondary school in the northeast of the capital on Monday, where the minor was studying.
At the Georges Brassens secondary school, the feeling this Monday was one of fear and disbelief. In the morning, the representatives of the parents of the students organized themselves to welcome the teenagers.
“My daughter is afraid. She did not want to come today,” confides a mother, who requested anonymity.
Mafy, another 45-year-old mother whose son went to class with Lola, assures that he “doesn’t want to eat anything” since Friday.
The Minister of Education, Pap Ndiaye, also attended the center on Monday, where he participated in a minute of silence in the teachers’ room and in Lola’s classroom, according to the ministry.
The authorities deployed a psychological support unit for students, teachers and parents shocked by the drama that occurred in this crowded family neighborhood.
