French prosecutors are pushing for a 15-year prison sentence for Emilie G., who was initially given a five-year suspended sentence for killing her grandfather by setting fire to his mattress. She justified her actions as an 'act of love' to end his suffering, but prosecutors argue that it stemmed from her frustrations and personal turmoil. They highlighted the horrific manner of death, claiming it was not loving. Emilie, who faces depression, found her life overwhelming and expressed regret during the appeal process.
"He did not die peacefully. This was not an act of love... When you love someone, you don't burn them," said prosecutor Eric Mazaud during the appeal.
"He did not have a death worthy of his life... fire is atrocious, it is inhuman" - Emilie G expressing her regret during the appeal.
Prosecutor Romain Ducrocq suggested that Emilie G. killed her grandfather to 'exorcise her frustration and multiple failures' in her personal life.
Emilie G, who is suffering from depression, described the act as an attempt to end her grandfather’s suffering amidst her own life challenges.
