Trial of Inass Touloub's parents, the "A10 martyr", in Blois

The trial of Inass Touloub's parents, the girl found dead in 1987 and nicknamed the "A10 martyr", is being held before the Loir-et-Cher assize court in Blois. On November 5, experts described the bite marks found on the child's body and the victim's older sister testified behind closed doors. On November 6, Inass's mother was questioned for several hours without giving details about the child's final hours, while the municipality of Suèvres lost its reserved seats in the courtroom. The following days, debates focused on the psychiatric and psychological expert assessments of the defendants, including a hearing interruption to check the father's health and analysis of the mother's personality. In parallel, the Mouv'enfants association asked for Inass Touloub's name to be added to that of the Blois-Villebon motorway area, near where her body had been found.
