Outrage has erupted in France following the discovery of a body on Thursday during the search for 11-year-old schoolgirl Lyhanna. Dozens of police and volunteers had spent days searching the southwestern French countryside for the girl, who had been missing since last week. Formal identification of the body is currently underway.
The discovery has sparked widespread criticism after it emerged that the main suspect in the case had been repeatedly accused of sexually abusing children, yet no action had been taken.
In response to the situation, the Interior minister has announced a review into the handling of the cases. Mié Kohiyama, co-president of 'Be Brave France', stated that the judicial system should first consider and believe the victims and the survivors.
