Two Twenties Arrested in Connection with 11-Year-Old's Death
In France, police have detained two individuals in relation to the discovery of an 11-year-old girl's body in a forest. The suspects are currently being interrogated and kept separate. Strong evidence points to their involvement in the disappearance and death of Louise, according to a police source.
The 23-year-old suspect, R. B., was identified from surveillance footage and arrested at his mother's residence in Épinay-sur-Orge. He has a criminal record with at least six convictions, including drug offenses, driving without a license, and theft. A nearly 21-year-old woman, C. G., who claimed to be the suspect's girlfriend, was also apprehended.
Parents express anger as daughter's name is leaked on social media, hoping for authorities to confirm her innocence. Autopsy reveals Louise was stabbed multiple times, likely with a knife, ruling out sexual assault.
Louise was reported missing after leaving school on Friday near Paris. Massive search efforts involving canines, drones, and a helicopter ensued, culminating in the discovery of her body at the border of Longjumeau and Épinay-sur-Orge.
Authorities confirm investigation into Louise's death as a homicide. Family and classmates left in disbelief, questioning the safety of children even during daylight hours.
