A 13 -year -old helpless girl was killed with hunger, beaten and locked in a room without windows by her own mother for “ten years of punishment and violence” who ended with her death, according to a French court.
Amandine died in 2020 and now the prosecutors of the southern city of Montpellier ask for life imprisonment for their depraved mother, Sandrine Pissarra.
The mother of eight children admitted her horrible crimes and, as reported, told the court: “I am a monstrous mother.”
When asked why he had treated his daughter with such brutality for so many years, Pissarra responded coldly: “Because he looked like his father.”
The 54-year-old woman is accused of torture and barbarism against her daughter and should be a minimum of 20 years after bars, prosecutor Jean-Marie Beney told court, whose verdict is expected to be issued today.
Amandine was hungry after suffering extreme loss of weight and muscle mass, as well as septicemia, according to the medical report after her death.
The skeletal adolescent, with a swollen face and covered with infected wounds, died on August 6, 2020. He weighed only 28 kg (62 pounds) and measured 1.55 meters (5.1 feet).
He had also lost several teeth and have ripped his hair. Amandine had been locked up for weeks in a warehouse without windows and food deprived.
Amandine died in 2020 and now the prosecutors of the southern city of Montpellier ask for life imprisonment for their depraved mother.
From a very young age, Amandine had been the victim of blows, even with brooms, punches, kicks, hair pulls, repeated screams, insults and pushes, Beney said.
To Pissarra, “domestic tyrant, home dictator, Amandine’s executioner, there can only be one sentence: life imprisonment with a minimum of 20 years in prison,” said the prosecutor.
Ask the day after the death of his daughter in the town of Montblanc, to the southwest of Montpellier, Pissarra said that Amandine suffered food disorders, an affirmation that no one else confirmed.
He said that the day of his death, Amandine had agreed to swallow only a piece of sugar, a little compot and a drink rich in protein before starting to vomit and then stop breathing.
The mother, who directed a manicure hall, has eight children of three relationships. It has been detained since May 2021.
The prosecutor also requested an 18-year prison sentence for the former Pissarra partner, Jean-Michel Cros, qualifying him as a “cowardly collaborator of the system” that “deprived Amandine of care until his death.”

From an early age, Amandine had been the victim of her mother’s blows.
The 49 -year -old man, who faces 30 years in prison for having “deprived his stepdaughter of care or food,” he also admitted the charges against him and, according to reports, he told the court “I feel greatly guilty for this” .
The instruction judge in charge of the case said in a report that “there was no doubt” that Amandine had suffered violence by his mother, “whose sole objective was to drag her into a shameful and humiliating agony.”
Amandine had been the goal of her mother since childhood, who deprived her of food, inflicted endless “writing punishments” and locked her in a warehouse under the surveillance of cameras, says the report.
According to the psychiatric evaluation, Pissarra, described by those who surrounded her as angry and violent, sought to “transfer his hatred” to Amandine’s father to his daughter’s body.
