Fury in France as student is murdered in exclusive Paris suburb 'by 22-year-old Moroccan rapist who had been released from jail and was awaiting deportation' | 25 Sept 2024 | The murder of a French student in an exclusive Paris suburb, allegedly by a Moroccan rapist who had been released from jail and was awaiting deportation, has ignited fury in France. The body of the 19-year-old woman, named only as Philippine, was found buried in the Bois de Boulogne park in an affluent area in the west of Paris on Saturday. Philippine was studying economics at Paris-Dauphine university and was last seen a few hundred metres away from campus around midday on Friday. The suspect, named by French media as Taha O., is a 22-year-old from Morocco who had been due to be expelled from France after serving five years in jail for raping a student in 2019, Le Monde newspaper and BFM TV said. On June 20, he had reportedly been sent straight from jail to a detention centre for illegal migrants pending his expulsion, but a judge set him free on September 3, as the expulsion process was getting bogged down in administrative delays.
