Anti-Semitic murder of woman in Paris: suspects charged
Source: Washington Post
PARIS Two suspects have been given preliminary charges of murder with anti-Semitic motives over the death of an elderly Jewish woman, a French judicial official said Tuesday.
The two men have been jailed, the official said. He was speaking anonymously to discuss the ongoing investigation.
Leading Jewish group CRIF said 85-year-old Mireille Knoll was slain last week in Paris eastern 11th district. She had been stabbed several times and her apartment set on fire.
Knoll had reportedly escaped a notorious World War II round-up in Paris of Jews, who were then shipped to Auschwitz.

The man, identified as Kada Traore, shouted religious slogans while murdering the woman.

One, in fact, had been the recipient of charity from the victim for 10 years.

Even on a progressive site Jews cant get equal treatment from some.
My stalker should be along to shout me down with inane nonsense momentarily....

(11,949 posts)One of my few dislikes of DU is that the reason really cannot be discussed here.
I am a freethinker and am more than welcome to condemn Christians for their often horrible beliefs and actions. That freedom does not extend to other religions.
