Overview
- Dahbia Benkired partly acknowledged killing 12-year-old Lola and told the court she intended to hurt an ex-partner rather than the child.
- A court-appointed psychologist described high psychopathic traits and a schizotypal profile without psychosis, concluding her discernment was intact during the acts.
- Toxicology at the time of her arrest was negative for medications she later invoked, undercutting claims of drug or occult influence.
- Former partners Fatah A. and Mustapha M. testified and denied her allegations, as the court noted contradictions in her shifting accounts.
- Proceedings move into a fourth day with the psychologist and civil parties heard before the accused’s interrogation later today, with a verdict expected by the end of the week.
