IS video shows suspect confessing to killing French police couple

Islamic State’s Amaq news agency releases a video showing the suspect in the knifing of a French police couple confessing to the killings.

The video of Larossi Abballa, released after his death, appears to be filmed inside the home of the couple as security forces closed in.

In the video, Abballa says: “I just killed a police officer and his wife.”

He adds: “The police are currently surrounding me.”

The video is edited, and the victims do not appear. Neither does the couple’s young son, who survived the attack.
