一名72岁女子周一在法国出庭受审,被指控在1980年代将其4岁女儿虐待致死,此案因DNA比对成功而重启。

A 72-year-old woman on Monday went on trial in France accused of torturing her four-year-old daughter to death in the 1980s, after a DNA match reopened the cold case.

主被告快步走出布卢瓦镇法庭的法庭,头低垂、用围巾遮住脸,正值午休时间,身后跟随儿童权益活动人士高呼“可耻”、呼吁伸张正义。

The main defendant walked briskly, head dropped and face hidden with a scarf, as she left the courtroom in the town of Blois at lunchtime, pursued by child rights activists crying “shame” and calling for justice.

她现已分居的丈夫、74岁,拄着拐杖艰难走上法院台阶,戴着黑色帽子、墨镜和口罩。

Her husband, a 74-year-old from whom she is now separated, earlier struggled up the courthouse’s steps with a cane, wearing a black cap, sunglasses and face mask.

母亲被控致死虐待,前伴侣被控未报告虐待,审判预计持续至11月18日。

The mother has been charged with torture that led to death, while her former partner has been accused of failing to report the abuse in the trial, which is set to last until November 18.

伊娜丝·图卢布的遗骸1987年在法国一条高速公路旁的沟渠中被发现。

The remains of Inass Touloub were found in a ditch by the side of a French highway in 1987.

据法新社看到的法医报告,尸体显示出可怕的暴力痕迹,包括烙铁烧伤和人类咬痕,推测为女性所留。

Her body showed awful signs of violence, including iron burns and human bites, thought to be those of a woman, according to the forensic report seen by Agence France-Presse.

当地无失踪儿童报案,警方因此在30个国家发起协查,将她的照片张贴在数万所法国学校和市政厅。案件一度悬而未决。

No child had been reported missing in the area, so police launched a plea for help spanning 30 countries, plastering her image in tens of thousands of French schools and town halls. The case was left unresolved.

但数十年后,另一起暴力案件嫌疑人的DNA样本,与留在伊娜丝衣物及裹尸毯上的基因痕迹匹配。

But decades later a DNA sample from a suspect in a separate violence case triggered a match with genetic traces left on Inass’s clothes and the blanket wrapped around her body.

该DNA属于受害者的兄弟,由此推动案件重启,父母于2018年被捕。这对夫妇共有七个孩子,包括伊娜丝。

The DNA turned out to belong to the victim’s brother, leading to the reopening of the case and their parents being arrested in 2018. The couple had seven children in total, including Inass.

羁押期间,二人均未供认导致女儿死亡的暴力行为,反而互指对方实施家暴。据政府统计,法国每周有一名儿童死于父母殴打。

In custody, neither confessed to the violence that led to their daughter’s death but instead accused each other of domestic abuse. Every week in France, a child dies from being beaten by their parents, according to government statistics.
