Overview
- Participants walked in silence through the streets on November 30, with friends like Amandine Rosset describing the grief of losing Zaïa as a femicide and carrying a banner evoking the light she radiated.
- Zaïa Binet, 27, was found burned in a car on November 19 in Saint-Marcel-Bel-Accueil, southeast of Lyon.
- The companion, identified by Le Parisien as Nicolas F., 39, initially spoke as a witness before telling investigators he pushed her during an argument, a partial admission reported as his account.
- Mayor Isabelle Flores said the killing defies understanding and urged concrete action as reports of violence against women have risen since 2020.
- Zaïa worked as a nursing assistant in an EHPAD, and her mother, Myriam Binet, publicly thanked the crowd for their support.
