French Priest’s Killer was Freed from Jail Despite Aiming to Join Jihadis
read the entire article. this shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone. he was caught twice trying to go to syria. his own mother spoke publicly about issues she had with him and tried to get authorities to put an electronic bracelet on him. the local mosque also told him to stay away .
he was a fucking idiot life loser who should have been locked away and never let out.
<School mates described Kermiche as “easily influenced” and a “buffoon” who never took to learning.
One teenager who knew him told RTL radio that when he heard about the church attack he knew Kermiche was involved. He said: “I wasn’t surprised. He talked about it all the time. He talked about Islam, the things like this he was going to do. He talked about the Qur’an and Mecca and he told me ‘I’m going to attack a church’. He said this two months ago on leaving the mosque. On my mother’s life I didn’t believe him.”
On Tuesday morning, Kermiche carried out that threat, entering the church at Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray near Rouen in Normandy with another attacker, where he forced Father Jacques Hamel, 86, to his knees and slit his throat. A second man, one of five hostages held by the attackers, was left in a critical condition after they attempted to cut his throat.
Kermiche was stopped by German police in March 2015 and accused of trying to travel to Syria. He was sent back to France, where he was given conditional parole awaiting trial. Two months later, he tried to enter Syria again, this time via Turkey. He was sent back to France again and was detained in May 2015.
Despite prosecutors’ protests, he was released in March this year. He was ordered to wear an electronic tag and could only leave his home between the hours of 8.30am and 12.30am on weekdays. It was during this four-hour time frame that he carried out the attack.>
