After a few days of terrible tension for those close to the young girl, rumors and crazy hypotheses, the fatal ax falls.
On January 31, Mahfoud H., the ex-partner of Sihem's cousin, was taken into custody by the gendarmes of the Nîmes research section.
The following night, he confessed to the murder and led investigators to the place where he left the schoolgirl's body.
The crime would have occurred “after an argument linked to their romantic relationship”, announces the public prosecutor of Nîmes, Cécile Gensac.
