I thought I was going to die, K-dash tells trial

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian told a Paris court on Tuesday she feared she would be killed by the masked men who robbed her at gunpoint of some US$10 million (333 million baht) of jewellery in her hotel room in 2016, but expressed her forgiveness despite the “trauma”.
The trial of 10 suspects has attracted huge media attention, with close to 500 reporters accredited, and crowds flocking around the courthouse on Paris's historic Ile de la Cite hoping for a glimpse of the celebrity.
“Hi! I’m Kim Kardashian and I just want to thank everyone, especially the French authorities, for allowing me to testify today and tell my truth,” she told the packed court, wearing a black skirt suit and jewelled necklace.
“I came to Paris for Fashion Week and Paris is always a place I love so much,” Kardashian said, giving the court her account of the night of Oct 2-3, 2016, when she was robbed while staying at an exclusive, discreet hotel in the centre of the city.
