Man Sentenced to 28 Years for Epinay-sur-Seine Femicide

Khalid Fahem convicted of murdering his wife Bouchra Bouali despite judicial protection measures.

Khalid Fahem was found guilty of stabbing his wife, Bouchra Bouali, 17 times in November 2021, just nine days after his early release from prison.
The case highlighted failures in the judicial system, as Bouali was not informed of Fahem's release, despite being under protection protocols.
Fahem's violent act has led to the implementation of new regulations requiring authorities to notify victims of a perpetrator's release.
Bouali's murder has deeply impacted the judicial community, particularly those who were involved in her protection.
The crime was described as a premeditated act, driven by Fahem's inability to accept his wife's independence and their impending separation.
