The case concerns the murder of Mireille Knoll, an 85-year-old Jewish woman and Holocaust survivor, who was killed in her apartment in Paris on 23 March 2018. Two men, Yacine Mihoub and Alex Carrimbacus, were charged in connection with the crime. The prosecution alleged that Mihoub, who had known the victim since childhood, attacked her with multiple stab wounds before setting fire to the apartment in an apparent attempt to conceal the crime. The act was prosecuted as an aggravated homicide with an antisemitic motive. On 10 November 2021, the Paris Assize Court (Cour d’assises de Paris) found Mihoub guilty of murder with aggravating circumstances, including the victim’s particular vulnerability and the antisemitic nature of the offense. He was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 22 years.
