A Tunisian man who fatally stabbed three people in a terrorist attack at a church in Nice, almost decapitating one victim, has been sentenced to life imprisonment in France.

Brahim Aouissaoui, 25, had told the special court in Paris he had no recollection of the attack in October 2020. He later admitted he was taking revenge on “you [westerners] who kill Muslims every day”.

Armed with a kitchen knife, Aouissaoui almost decapitated 60-year-old Nadine Devillers, stabbed Barereto Silva, a 44-year-old Franco-Brazilian care worker, and slit the throat of Vincent Loqués, a 55-year-old church worker, at the Notre-Dame basilica.

He was convicted of the three murders and six attempted murders.

On Wednesday the court made the rare decision to give him the maximum sentence of life imprisonment with almost no chance of parole for the attack described in the trial as one of “unusual savagery”.

He has the "Dead" eyes.

Unfortunately this is France and when they say life in prison with almost no chance of parole, I find it highly doubtful that he will do even twenty five years, probably less.

What should happen to these terrorists is summary execution, better for the public and cheaper too.

So he'll be out in three years. Got it.
