French Woman Convicted for Stabbing Father in Religious Attire Dispute

Angelina was clearly no longer the same after her conversion to Islam. Convinced that she had been "banished" from her family because she "hangs out with people of other ethnicities and colors," she now "lives on the street," reports Le Parisien. I even "slept at the mosque," this holder of a CAP in Personal Assistance certifies in the defendants’ box. The facts she is accused of date back to October 12. That day, she had gone to her parents’ home to "look for belongings." Armed on this occasion with a knife, the blonde young woman was "ready to kill" her father "if he did not let her out" of the house.

Angelina stabbed her father with a knife in Rezé (Loire-Atlantique) on the grounds that he was preventing her from "wearing the veil. The day before this attempted voluntary manslaughter, an altercation broke out between the 23-year-old woman and her mother Nathalie. "Move aside or I’ll stab you," the defendant had then said, according to statements reported by her sister.

Angelina is convinced that her parents "do not love her." "They want me to go to prison, plain and simple, and they don’t want me to be Muslim," she repeated on Wednesday during her immediate appearance trial. Her parents contradict her. "We’ve always loved her, we’ve never rejected her," they sobbed from the stand. "When she was little, she had bronchiolitis, she almost died," her father even recalled, still bearing the mark of his injury at the base of his neck. The couple were just worried about knowing where their daughter "was sleeping" and "not having answers to their emails and text messages," it is summarized.

"Radicality is a process that always starts with a break with society, with parents," the public prosecutor sighed. "If my daughter had the same evolution, I would not be better than Mr. or Mrs... I would be lost," he added, before requesting eighteen months of actual imprisonment and as many with probationary suspension, accompanied by a detention order against her for this "flight into intolerance and nihilism." Finally, the Nantes correctional court sentenced this former saleswoman and cleaning agent to ten months in prison, but also to twenty-six months in prison with probationary suspension, with an obligation of care and work.
