Marseille attacker’s brother, sister held in Tunisia
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA brother and sister of Ahmed Hanachi, who stabbed two young women to death in the French city of Marseille this month, have been detained in Tunisia, authorities say.
The two were detained on Friday and have been questioned by anti-terror investigators, prosecution spokesman Sofiene Sliti said.
“They appeared before an investigating judge…who decided to transfer the case to the national guard,” in Aouina, northeastern Tunis, he says.
A source close to the family named the siblings as Moez and Amina Hanachi, who both live in Tunisia.
Their brother Ahmed Hanachi, 29, attacked two women at Marseille’s Saint-Charles train station on October 1, before being shot dead by troops.
