PARIS (Reuters) -Shocked neighbours laid flowers and candles on Tuesday in tribute to a 12-year-old girl who was murdered in Paris, a killing which some opposition parties have seized on to call for tougher immigration policies.

The Paris prosecutor's office said the girl disappeared on Friday and her body was discovered later that evening in a plastic trunk outside her building in the 19th arrondissement of the French capital.
