Not at all LB, what you've done is brilliant with the spoiler box.

I don't feel complete unless I post some of the earlier tweets that I didn't get to post when the site was down

So forgive me.

What a day - 3 big guilty verdicts in UK cases and a new Websleuths came back just in time!

 

[Tiny]

I am so pleased with the verdict. Those two are evil. The picture of Sophie breaks my heart. I do hope she is resting in peace.

 

[Tortoise]

So sad even just to see the burned remnants of her glasses.

Medouni was trying to burn her corpse with caustic acid in a bid to eliminate any trace that Sophie had ever existed.

‘He had even scattered bits of cooked chicken on top of Sophie’s charred body as part of the elaborate charade.

What a day - 3 big guilty verdicts in UK cases and a new Websleuths came back just in time!

I know there's this one and the Cilliers, which is the third?

 

[Tiny]

Hi Cover me. The third is the very sad Pearson case in Manchester where four children were killed by a petrol bomb in their home.

Via Google translate. The victim impact statements of Sophie's parents were read in French and English.

By way of derogation from a procedure which, centered on the prosecution and the defense, does not provide for the voice of the victims and their families, Hilliard JA had the evidence of Catherine Devallonné and then Patrick read in French and in English. Lionnet, the parents of the au pair. He asked the accused to listen to them calmly.

" Sophie had only started her life. Nobody had the right to take it away, " said the mother. If your father has completed:

"Sophie could not bear to see others suffering, and it breaks my heart to know that it is she (...) who has suffered in silence, cashing the blows and receiving wounds incompatible with life. "

The parents described their lives ravaged, without sleep, without joy of living . " People avoid us, others do not know how to be with us, others do not know what to say . Patrick Lionnet described his futile struggle to prevent the photos of the body burned, "a nose and fingers identifiable as those of a human body" , eclipses the smiling clichés of his daughter. Catherine Devallonné, her struggle to try to erase the image of Sophie " struggling to take her last breath, terrified in the bathtub", in the hands of "these monsters they broke it until she can not fight anymore. "

Each in their own way, they painted the portrait of Sophie Lionnet, a girl " sweet, naive, shy and always smiling" . Raised in a family where "financial means were limited but she lacked nothing," she " accepted things as they were", but she was thirsty for justice. "Sophie was keenly interested in the fate of the Jewish people during the war, said her mother. His most valuable book was Anne Frank's life. With her class she had made a trip to Auschwitz. It was his only trip abroad, before England.

Sophie can rest in peace now, she stayed to protect those babies, and hopefully now they will be safe

Judge Nicholas Hilliard QC said that even though there was evidence about their mental state, in particular Kouider, who was held at a medium secure mental hospital, none of it was a defence for murder.

Perhaps the most strikingly similar case to be heard at the Old Bailey involved lesbian child killers Polly Chowdhury and Kiki Muddar in 2015...
Muddar, who like Kouider has a borderline personality disorder, convinced Chowdury her daughter was evil and together they punished and terrorised her with scary masks before she died in the bath.

Unlike Kouider and Medouni, Chowdhury accepted in the trial that she had been swept up Muddar's fantasy world of alter-egos.

[...]

It was suggested that flat-cap wearing Medouni, who was said to be a black belt in Taekwondo, was not as meek as he appeared in the witness box.

...On the day of the au pair's death, Medouni was heard in recorded interrogations to have assumed control for the first time.

Interview with MW. Don't think there's much that didn't come out at trial.

MW's 1st date with SK.

‘She asked me to meet one evening, which I thought was a date,’ recalls Mark. ‘But when I arrived there were 11 other men there, many of whom seemed to be under the same impression. It was a sales meeting for a pyramid scheme selling phone lines. Several guys left but I stayed because she intrigued me.

‘I ended up buying into the company. She asked me to sign up, saying it was only £225. It turned out to be £800, plus another fee, plus monthly fees. That should have been a warning to me.

This has got me thinking SK's obsession with M W was more financial than anything else.

Despite Kouider’s abuse, Mark stayed with her for two years, until she left him a few days after he moved to LA and, eventually, cut off contact. He continued sending her thousands of dollars while hiring a succession of lawyers to try to get her to agree to a paternity test. ‘For so long I’ve considered the baby my son, but I honestly in my heart don’t know. Finally I stopped sending money’

It was when Mark cut off financial support that she turned on him. ‘She contacted some of my biggest clients – major international music stars – telling them I was a paedophile. That’s been very hard for me to get over. I can’t think of a worse accusation.

Anyway, I'm pleased he flew over to give evidence. Fair play to him.

Thanks for updating this thread everyone! I'm so glad they were both found guilty. In the mugshots posted above she looks so evil, and he has totally dead eyes. Horrifying!

And Sophie's picture makes me so sad.
