The man identified as an ‘Islamic State’ killer has stabbed a top cop and his wife to death in their Paris home.

Jean-Baptiste Salvaing, 42, a police commander, suffered nine stomach wounds in the ‘terror attack’ at his suburban house in the Yvelines department, north of Paris, shortly after 8.30pm.

 

His wife’s body was found in the property after elite RAID commandos stormed the building and killed the attacker.

The only survivor was the couple’s three-year-old son whom the killer tried to kidnap.

Islamic State’s terror group’s Amaq news agency said the attacker was an “Islamic State fighter”. 

There were also unconfirmed claims that the attacker had discussed his “affiliation to ISIS” during negotiations with the police.

A source close to the case said: “It’s said that he shouted Allahu Akhbar (Arabic for God is the Greatest) during the attack, and spoke about his membership of ISIS. “

Neighbours also said the man had served with the French Army, in the Foreign Legion

Bernard Cazeneuve, France’s Interior Minister, said “every line of enquiry” including terrorism was being investigated”.
