Larossi Abballa

French islamist killer, who killed a French police officer and his wife in front of their child. Abballa was convicted in 2013 of associating with a group planning terrorist acts, but released on probabtion after the trial, because he had already spent two years in prison attending trial. From Wikipedia: On the evening of 13 June 2016, in Magnanville, France, Jean-Baptiste Salvaing, a 42 year old police commanding officer at the Mureaux police station was coming home after his day of work to his house located in allée des Perdrix. Around 8:00pm, 25-year-old male Larossi Abballa parked his car 20 meters away from the victims house and hid behind the front gate of the house. The police officer entered his property at around 20:30 (8.30 pm) and Aballa immediately attacked him, stabbing him twice. The victim managed to flee into the street, where he met a neighbour and asked him to call the emergency and get to cover. Abballa finally caught up with the police officer, stabbing him again several times before barricading himself in the house of his victim. Inside the house the wife of the victim, Jessica Schneider, a 36 year old administration worker at the Mantes-la-Jolie police station, was killed by Abballa, who slit her throat open. The couples three-year-old child remained unharmed. Inside the house, at 20:52 (8:52 pm) Abballa started a Facebook Live broadcast on his mobile phone while the RAID and BRI police special forces converged to the crime scene and set up an attack plan. In his 13 minute long live broadcast, Abballa claimed his double murder and his allegiance to Abu Mohammad al-Adnani, ISISs spokesperson and considered as the leader of the November 2015 Paris attacks. He also called for "attacks on police personnel, journalists, public figures and rappers", citing several public figures. He also claimed "we are going to make the Euro a cemetery", referring to the ongoing UEFA Euro 2016 football competition, taking place in France at that time. He also mentioned the couples child, who was still alive, saying "i dont know what i am going to do with him yet". On the scene, police teams evacuated and locked-down the area around the house. The RAID special unit attempted to negotiate with Abballa. During these negotiations, Abballa said he was a practicing Muslim, that he was observing Ramadan, and that he swore allegiance three weeks earlier to ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi. He also said he answered a call from Al-Baghdadi to "kill the infidels, at their homes with their families". Later in the night, after unsuccessful attempts at negotiating with the suspect, and threats from the suspect to "blow the place up if the police tried to break in" the RAID assault team, along with BRI officers, entered the house around 12am and killed Abballa in a firefight. They retrieved the dead body of the police officers wife and their three year old son, alive but in shock. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
