Overview

  • Mounir Boutaa is accused of the premeditated murder of his ex-wife, Chahinez Daoud, whom he shot and burned alive in Mérignac, France, in 2021.
  • Testimonies and evidence, including a modified surveillance van and the acquisition of incendiary materials, underline the calculated nature of the crime.
  • Boutaa denies responsibility, claiming to be the victim of a conspiracy, and has shown no remorse, stating he feels no guilt for his actions.
  • The trial has highlighted systemic failures, as Chahinez repeatedly sought police protection from abuse but was left unprotected, culminating in her death.
  • The case has reignited national outrage over femicides in France, with calls for urgent reforms to address domestic violence and improve victim protections.
