A MANHUNT is underway after an 11-year-old girl was found dead with "stab wounds" after vanishing on her way home from school.
Louise Lasalle, 11, from Essonne in northern France, went missing shortly before 2pm on Friday after leaving André-Maurois middle school in Épinay-sur-Orge.
The body of 11-year-old Louise Lasalle has been found after going missing on Friday
When she failed to return home, her panicked parents alerted authorities.
The schoolgirl was last seen on a pedestrian crossing wearing leggings and a hat, according to BFMTV, and CCTV footage allegedly showed the young girl heading towards a park.
But hopes of finding Louise alive were shattered when officers discovered her body early Saturday morning in Parc des Templiers woodlands, less than a mile from her school.
A large-scale police operation was launched, involving specialist search dogs, drones, and a helicopter.
Public prosecutor Grégoire Dulin confirmed "an investigation into the murder of a minor" has been opened and is being handled by the Versailles organised and specialised crime division.
According to BFMTV, Louise had suffered "numerous" stab wounds.
Prosecutors added that there wasn't evidence to suggest there was sexual violence.
An autopsy into the causes of the schoolgirl's death was carried out on Saturday afternoon.
Now "traumatised" locals have spoken out about the heinous murder of the young girl in the "quiet" Essonne neighbourhood.
Speaking to Le Parisien, one local father said while clenching his fists: "I'm furious - I'm horrified by what I heard.
"These are our neighbours, we can't even imagine their pain.
"We have children too. The neighbourhood is dead, we're traumatised."
And a 16-year-old schoolboy told La Nouvelle Republique: "It's a shock. I can't believe it."
He explained how it was a shock that such a case has occurred "in this kind of neighbourhood, this kind of quiet city".
The teen added: "We're all in mourning."
Authorities initially arrested a 22-year-old man, reportedly seen on surveillance footage, and his 20-year-old partner.
They were released from custody and no other suspects have been arrested.
The local authority expressed its condolences, stating: "As soon as [Louise's] disappearance was reported, all means were deployed to try to find her."
I bet Coulter’s Law will go into effect in this case.
Seen any illegal immigrants hanging around town?
Occam’s Razor say’s that it wasn’t the Amish.
Okay, it’s sad. But for perspective the murders in Tallahassee are so numerous they barely make a mention unless there’s something “clickable” about them.
Islam…..commands slaughter. Any connection?
Any udocumented Amish aliens in this part of France?
More like Occam's Scimitar in this case.
Follow the Swedes lead and ban AR-15s and knives too.
Yes................
There’s a certain number of scare-quotes that one can get away with in a headline, before each new set just makes the whole thing come across as more and more cruelly mocking.
Each new one tends to make the unstated “so-called” that normally precedes a lot of words and phrases in scare-quotes, all that much louder...
PLEASE CLARIFY THAT SHE WAS WEARING MORE THAN “LEGGINGS & A HAT”
Last pic of her on camera walking home from school...........
