On 12 August, the "partially charred" body of a woman was found in vineyards in Saint-Gilles, a small village around twenty kilometres from Nîmes, in the south of France.
A week later, the Nîmes public prosecutor's office announced that DNA testing had confirmed the woman's identity as 29-year-old Sonia Bellina - an influencer with more than 250,000 followers on TikTok.
