Their faces solemn and lips closed, the crowd marched Thursday from Mantes-la-Jolie, where victim Jessica Schneider worked as a police administrator, to Magnanville, where she and police commander Jean-Baptiste Salvaing were stabbed at their home Monday night.
Their 3-year-old son survived the attack, which rattled France’s leadership as the country is on high alert for new extremist violence. Attacker Larossi Abballa was killed in a police raid.
Three people with links to Abballa are in custody and being questioned by anti-terrorism investigators.
French police have described growing fear after multiple attacks targeting security officers.
instead of marching with roses they should march with guns into mosques.
