At a time when the new French government is trying to find its way on security and immigration issues, a new tragedy has shaken French public opinion: the murder of Philippine, a 19-year-old Catholic student who was savagely killed and buried in the Bois de Boulogne, just outside Paris. The suspect is a Moroccan illegal immigrant with an OQTF (obligation to leave French territory), who had already been convicted of rape.
The violent crime, which occurred late on Friday, September 20th, is accompanied by a sense of déjà vu.
