The trial of Mounir B.

, accused of the brutal murder of his wife, Chahinez Daoud, has begun in Bordeaux.

Chahinez, a 31-year-old mother of three, was tragically killed in May 2021 near her home in Mérignac, France.

Her husband shot her and set her on fire in a horrifying act of violence.

This case has become a symbol of systemic failures, as Chahinez had repeatedly reported her husband's abuse to the police, but her cries for help went unanswered.

Despite prior convictions and restraining orders against him, Mounir B.

was able to carry out this heinous act.

The trial not only seeks justice for Chahinez but also highlights the urgent need for institutional reforms to protect victims of domestic violence.
