The primary suspect, a 24-year-old Algerian woman who was residing in the country illegally, has been charged with murder of a minor accompanied by rape, torture, and acts of barbarism.
Two of the suspects, both originally from Sudan but who arrived in France in 2018, were indicted on Monday afternoon by a magistrate from the criminal division. They face 20 years in prison.
