Several hundred people gathered in southwestern France on Friday to bid farewell to an 11-year-old girl whose suspected murder sparked protests across the country and exposed failures in the country's judicial system.

The body of the girl, named as Lyhanna, was found last week after she went missing on 29 May in the southwestern town of Fleurance. #EuropeNews

Le meurtre de cette petite fille de 11 ans est en passe de devenir une affaire d'Etat. Ses obsèques sont prévues vendredi après-midi à Fleurance, la ville où elle était scolarisée.
