French attack suspect confesses as gruesome selfie emerges
The man suspected of decapitating his boss, Herve Cornara, in an attack on a gas factory in France has confessed to the grisly crime, sources close to the investigation said Sunday.
Yassine Salhi, 35, “has also given details about the circumstances” surrounding the killing, according to the sources, who said he would be transferred to Paris for further questioning later Sunday by anti-terrorist police.
Salhi’s confession came after it emerged the married father-of-three sent a gruesome selfie photo of himself and the severed head to a WhatsApp number in Canada.
Investigators have warned however that it could be a relay number and the intended recipient could be anywhere in the world.
