MOSCOW (Sputnik) – On Monday evening, a man stabbed a 42-year-old police commander and took his wife and child hostage at their house in the Paris northwestern suburb of Magnanville. The wife was murdered but the child was rescued. The murderer, identified as Larossi Abballa, was killed by riot police.
"The killer said he pledged allegiance to the Islamic State [Daesh] three weeks earlier," Francois Molins told a press conference as quoted by the Modern Paper portal.
