LONDON: A French couple was on Thursday found guilty of murdering their 21-year-old au-pair and then burning her body on a bonfire in their London garden in September last year. Sabrina Kouider, 35, broke into tears after she and partner Ouissem Medouni, 40, were found guilty by a jury at London’s Old Bailey court of murdering French live-in nanny Sophie Lionnet. The jurors deliberated for a week before unanimously convicting Kouider and ruling by a majority decision of 10 to 2 that her partner Medouni was guilty. Both denied murdering Lionnet, from Troyes in eastern France, although they had admitted during the two-month trial to burning her body. They took away her dignity and eventually her life.”An undated handout picture released by the British Metropolitan Police Service in London on May 24, 2018, shows murdered French au-pair Sophie Lionnet.
