BEAUVAIS – A court in France sentenced a man to 18 years in prison on Friday for stabbing and then burning alive his 15-year-old girlfriend.
Post-mortem forensic examination revealed “multiple wounds” inflicted by a knife, but also that Ms Shaina was still breathing at the start of the fire.He had sought a tougher, 20 or 30-year sentence, but the court took the accused’s status as a minor into consideration.“18 years! That’s justice in France,” he shouted at the special juvenile court in Oise, and had a tense exchange with the accused before collapsing and being taken to hospital.
Ms Shaina’s murder was particularly shocking, not only because of her young age, but also because two years earlier she had been the victim of sexual assault, for which four other young people were given suspended sentences ranging from six months to two years in prison.
