According to Le Parisien , Mina, 71, was found dead at her home in Bagnolet (Seine-Saint-Denis) on August 20. Her son, worried about not hearing from her, alerted the emergency services. Firefighters discovered her body lying in a pool of blood, her face covered by a vest and a wound hidden by a cloth. A bloody hammer was found nearby.
The investigation revealed that Mina regularly hosted undocumented North Africans who made a living selling cigarettes on the street.
