Michaël Chiolo was later detained in a police raid carried out on Tuesday evening.

He and his female partner, who was visiting him, had been barricaded in the family-visiting area of a Normandy high-security prison since the morning.

CONDE-SUR-SARTHE, France (Reuters) - The partner of a French prison inmate was killed by police on Tuesday after they stabbed two guards in an attack the government called a terrorist incident.

After the stabbing, the couple barricaded themselves in a room used for family visits in the top security jail in Conde-sur-Sarthe, northern France for ten hours before police stormed the room, anti-terrorist prosecutor Remy Heitz said.

A source from the prison guards union said the woman, who was not named, was shot.

Apparently, she was there for a conjugal visit. Isn't that special? Should murderers get such treats?

Chiolo, who was serving a 30-year sentence, reportedly became radicalised while in prison. ...

Chiolo had been jailed for choking an 89-year-old man, whom he and an accomplice had tied up while burgling, to death.
