France's interior minister Gérald Darmanin said there were clear failures in the psychiatric care of a radicalised Islamist who stabbed a German tourist to death in central Paris at the weekend. The attacker and members of his family remain in custody as an investigation gets underway.
Speaking on French television channel BFMTV on Monday morning, Darmanin said: "There was clearly a failure, not from the point of view of his monitoring by the intelligence services, but a psychiatric failure," adding the attacker had an "acute mental illness".
