Sarah Halimi, well known in the Paris Orthodox community, was brutally beaten and thrown to her death from her third-floor apartment by a ‘’radicalized’’ Muslim neighbor in April 2017.
TGP contributor Sebastien Wolfe reported on this story at the time.
It was the crime that should have shocked France – a quiet Jewish woman mercilessly beaten by young Muslim neighbor, Kobili Traoré, in the middle of the night before being thrown to her death from her Paris apartment. All this to recitations of the Koran and cries of ‘’Allahu Akbar’’ while police waited outside for the arrival of an anti-terrorist unit.
Yet few outside of the Jewish community heard of the crime last year, with essential elements being omitted from mainstream press reports of the horrific attack. Six weeks after the violent death of 66-year-old Sarah Halimi, her family spoke out.
Holding a press conference in May 2017, lawyers speaking on their behalf stated their belief that the crime was anti-Semitic in nature and condemned the ‘’silence of the media’’ in the aftermath of the crime.
Nearly a year later French authorities finally admitted the brutal death of Sarah Halimi was an anti-Semitic murder.
Now this…
A French judge ruled the Muslim killer Kobili Traoré was not responsible for his crime because he was high on pot at the time.
The Independent reported:
A Muslim man who killed a Jewish woman in an antisemitic attack was probably not criminally responsible because he was high on cannabis, a French judge has ruled.
Kobili Traore has been accused of murdering 65-year-old Sarah Halimi in her flat in Paris on 3 April, 2017.
Traore allegedly recited verses from the Quran as he beat Ms Halimi, before throwing her from a third-floor window.
