The paper quotes a source close to the case as saying that Gonclaves said he had fallen in love with Arbabzadeh and said he was looking to build a life with her after her release.
Arbabzadeh, also known as Yalda, is serving a nine-year-sentence for her role in the kidnap and murder of Halimi, 23, who she helped lure into the hands of a gang known as "the barbarians". On January 20th, 2006, Yalda lured Halimi to an apartment block in a Paris suburb, where he was set upon by the gang, who held him captive for 24 days, demanding money for his release. Eventually Halimi was found naked handcuffed to a tree, on the verge of death and badly burnt.
Gang leader Youssouf Fofana was sentenced to a minimum of 22 years for the crime, which he said he carried out because he was convinced all Jews are rich.
