The crime is being treated as an anti-Semitic murder, a judicial source said
- French authorities say the killing of an elderly Jewish woman in Paris is being investigated as an anti-Semitic murder.
A spokesperson for SPCJ, the official monitor and security unit of the French Jewish community, told this to the 7sur7 news site Sunday in connection with the stabbing of Mirelle Kanol, 85, at her home Friday. The body was discovered on Friday.
Two men in their twenties, both previously known to the authorities, were detained in connection with the murder in the past three days, French publication Le Parisien reported.
In a public statement on Sunday, the National Bureau for Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism (BNVCA) said "up to 11 stab wounds" were found on the charred body of the woman, identified only as Mireille K. An autopsy revealed Knoll sustained multiple stab wounds before the fire.
Francis Kalifat, the head of the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions of France, said, "This makes one feel something absolutely bad". Investigators have opened an investigation on Monday including anti-Semitism as a possible motive for the woman's murder, according to French media. " He added that the Holocaust survivor's family has "no doubt about the anti-Semitic background of the incident".

The killing of Halimi by an Islamist assailant who broke into her apartment, beat her and then ejected her from a third-floor window to her death was shrouded in silence for several weeks after it occurred. The apartment was also located in the 11th arrondissement.
ADL urged all French leaders and society to participate in a silent March planned for Wednesday by the French Jewish community to express their anger and revulsion at yet another violent anti-Semitic attack and murder and to show solidarity with the French Jewish community. "What about Mireille? The investigation has begun, but I am afraid that after Sarah, Mireille also fell victim to the hatred of Jews, which is increasingly seen in the suburbs, against the backdrop of Islamic radicalization, hatred of Israel but also hatred of France", Habib wrote. In 2012 Mohamed Merah killed four people, including three children, outside a Jewish school in Toulouse.
"While President Macron and other French leaders have forcefully condemned anti-Semitism, the response of law enforcement and other authorities to expressions and acts of anti-Semitic hatred is particularly important to reinforce a sense of security for Jewish communities", they continued.
"Every day we have people who are hurt, every day we have people who are insulted. This is what characterizes anti-Semitism in our country".
