How Lyhanna’s murder case is shedding light on child abuse in France

Lyhanna, an 11-year-old girl, was raped and killed in Fleurance, southwestern France. Suspect Jerome Barella, 41, the father of a schoolmate, has been charged with abduction and unlawful confinement. He had faced two prior accusations of raping minors, both dropped or stalled. An official inquiry found the child protection system had broken down, and Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu has promised reforms.
