Star ‘googled how to break a kneecap’

FORMER Paris Saint-Germain Women player Aminata Diallo allegedly googled ‘how to break a kneecap’ and ‘dangerous drug cocktail’ before one of her team-mates was attacked. Diallo was charged with aggravated assault on Friday having been arrested on suspicion of organising the attack on Kheira Hamraoui by two masked men in November last year. Hamraoui, 32, was a passenger in Diallo’s car when she was dragged out of the vehicle and brutally beaten with an iron bar. Diallo was originally arrested in connection with the attack last year but was released without charge. She remained a person of interest to the police, who are said to have bugged her phone. French newspaper Le Parisien have published extracts from a new report by the Crime Prevention Brigade, which claims Diallo developed a ‘real hatred’ for her team-mate, who played in the same position as her, considering Hamraoui an ‘obstacle’ to her football career. The report is said to allege that Diallo searched for a ‘dangerous drug cocktail’ as well as ‘how to break a kneecap’ in the lead-up to the attack, while in WhatsApp messages allegedly found on her phone she claimed she wished all her team-mates ‘pain’.

‘If I was bad, jealous, and calculating like her... I (would tell a relative) to destroy her,’ one WhatsApp message allegedly read. Diallo, who maintains her innocence, has been imprisoned while she awaits further talks with the investigating judge. Four men have already been arrested in connection with the attack.
