British girl, 3, stabbed in Annecy attack is out of surgery and watching TV as Macron says the horror will become just a 'bad memory'
Ettie Turner, who was on holiday with her parents, was taken to hospital in Grenoble, along with two-year-old French twins Ennio and Alba, after the attack in the nearby city of Annecy on Thursday.Ettie and Peter were described as being in a "stable" condition, while Ennio and Alba remain "critical". Previously, France's prime minister Elisabeth Borne said all four children had been in surgery.
"They spoke with her family and to the families of the French children who were injured. The president was in a room with parents for quite a long time." Meanwhile the attacker's former wife appeared in disbelief as she revealed that he has a daughter the same age as the children he attacked in the rampage.
French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said the suspect entered France legally, adding: "For some reasons we don't really understand, he applied for asylum in Switzerland, in Italy and in France, which he didn't need to do as he already had asylum in Sweden for the past 10 years."
