Parisians continue to pay tribute to a 12-year-old schoolgirl whose body was found on Friday in a container in the courtyard of her apartment building.

The footage shows a display of flowers, candles and cards outside her home and her school ahead of her funeral tomorrow.

The girl named Lola spent the day in school but her dad raised the alert when she failed to return home in the afternoon.

Later in the evening, a transparent plastic packing box containing her body was found at the foot of the building in the 19th arrondissement.

Lola's cruel murder stunned the nation as a 24-year-old Algerian-born woman was arrested sparking a political row over the migrant status of the suspect.

One day before murdered 12-year-old Lola's funeral, found tied up in a suitcase, flowers continue to be laid as tribute outside her home and her school in Paris. 23 oct 2022.
