An Algerian woman apologised for her "horrible" actions Friday as she went on trial accused of raping and murdering a 12-year-old girl in Paris, in a case that sparked horror in France and was seized by the far right.
Dahbia Benkired, now aged 27, was detained after Lola Daviet went missing in the northeast of the French capital three years ago. The girl's body was then found in a trunk in the lobby of the building where her father and mother worked as caretakers.
