A man accused of stabbing an 85-year-old Holocaust survivor to death in herParis apartment screamed "Allahu Akbar" during the anti-Semitic attack, it has been claimed.
Two men, one a convicted paedophile and the other a vagrant burglar, have been charged with knifing Mireille Knoll to death at her home in the Frenchcapital then burning her body.
A source close to the investigation has revealed the two arrested men gave conflicting accounts to police. One told interrogators he heard the other shout the words 'God is greatest' in Arabic during the attack.
The pair also allegedly targeted her because her Jewishness meant she had money.
'The terrible thing is that one of the attackers told the other: 'She's a Jew, she must have money',' Interior Minister Gerard Collomb told parliament on Tuesday.
'There are the stereotypes we have to combat,' he said.
Ms Knoll lived at the flat alone, and had treated one of the alleged attackers 'as a son' for more than 20 years, according to a source close to the case.
