Alisha, killed and thrown into the Seine by her classmates

Alisha he attended a private professional high school and had good grades. Perhaps too good to arouse some too many envy. Alisha was only 14 and was killed by a friend and her boyfriend, her classmates. His battered body was found in the Seine.

The first tests declare she died of asphyxiation, drowned. She was still alive when she went into the water. An even more tragic story because it sees teenagers as protagonists who are now accused of premeditated murder. They face up to 20 years in prison.

The case has shocked Paris, a city that has seen in recent weeks several cases of children seriously injured or killed by peers, often in the course of brawls between rival gangs. In this case the motive is not yet certain. The classmates speak of a possible envy born because the girl was doing well at school. But it is still all to be defined.

The story would begin at the beginning of the year when, immediately, the two alleged killers would have targeted the 14-year-old. The boy at first would have had an affair with Alisha and then leave her for his friend. But the two companions had maintained good relations.

The story would then take a dangerous turn when the boy allegedly stole some of his intimate snaps from Snapchat profile to send to classmates. This was reported to the school by Alisha’s parents but not to the police. Over the next few weeks, the two girls would clash in the school restrooms as more photos of Alisha kept circulating.

On the night of the murder, from the first reconstructions of the investigators, it seems that Alisha was lured into a real trap. Her friend asks her to meet on the Seine to talk and clarify. But they are not alone, hidden is the boy that suddenly he jumps out and starts hitting Alisha. Beating her up and throwing her into the river.

At that point they both go to his house and tell the boy’s mother that they had a fight with Alisha, who then “fell into the Seine.” They change off their bloodstained clothes and go out. They will be arrested around 2 am at a friend’s house where they had gone to spend the evening. The boy’s mother, who went to the scene of the crime and having found bloodstains, goes to the police and reports her son.

Alisha is found in the river on Monday 8 March. The body is battered but the autopsy says she died of asphyxiation, drowned. She was still alive when the two schoolmates threw her into the Seine.
