The pregnant wife of a radicalised inmate who helped her husband stab two officers during a ‘conjugal visit’ to a French prison was shot dead by anti-terror police tonight.

Michael Chiolo, the 27-year-old jihadi who carried out the original bloodbath at the high security Alencon-Conde-sur-Sarthe facility, in Normandy, was severely wounded before being captured.

He and his late wife, who has not been named, had locked themselves inside the ‘family facility’ of the prison after attacking two supervisors on Tuesday morning while shouting ‘Alluhu Akbar’ – Arabic for ‘God is the Greatest’.

Despite being described by a judge as a ‘psychopath’ before being handed a 30-year-sentence in 2014 for murdering a Holocaust survivor, Chiolo had been granted regular family visits.

Describing today’s original drama, French Justice Minister Nicole Belloubet said: "The terrorist nature of this attack isn’t in doubt.

"The antiterrorist section of the public prosecutor's office of Paris is involved in the incident, which is ongoing."

Ms Belloubet said the inmate’s wife ‘feigned illness’ at around 9.45am, leading to two prison officers arriving in a room in the family unit, which is designed to give couples privacy during visiting hours.

It was then that the inmate lashed out with his knife, wounding one man in the chest, and the other in the back and face. Both have since been treated and neither is in a life-threating condition.

The wife is thought to have smuggled a ceramic knife into the prison, and there were also fears that explosives may also have been made available to her husband.

After the attack, the couple remained in the family unit, and at around 6pm RAID anti-terrorist police stormed their locked room.


A prison source said: "There were explosions, and gun shots, and then the husband was wounded but arrested.

"His wife died from gunfire wounds, however."

Chiolo, a convert to Islam, had been sentenced to 28 years for kidnapping, torturing and finally killing an 89-year-old Jewish survivor of the Nazi concentration camps.

Chiolo and two other men ended the life of Roger Tarall during a burglary at Montigny-les-Metz, close to the German border in eastern France, in April 2012.

Roger Tarall had been arrested by the Gestapo and deported to Dachau during the Second World War, but survived the notorious camp near Munich.
