In the sun-warmed vineyards of southern France, a farmer's discovery on August 12 set in motion a reckoning that would reach far beyond the rural rows of Saint-Gilles. Sonia Bellina, a 29-year-old woman who had built a life partly in public view, was found murdered and burned — her identity confirmed only through DNA, her death described by those who loved her as an act of rare savagery. Two men are now in custody, but the violence has not stayed contained: it has migrated into the digital world she once inhabited, where strangers feel licensed to pass judgment on the dead.
