Mother and three daughters stabbed in French resort ‘for being scantily dressed’

Metro UK:

A woman and her three daughters have been stabbed in a French resort for being ‘scantily dressed’.

An eight year old girl was left fighting for her life after the attack in the Garde-Colombe in the Hautes-Alpes region of South East France.

The girls are believed to be between eight and 14 and the man with the knife is alleged to have fled the scene by car before being arrested.

Local reports suggested the family had been targeted because of the way they were dressed while local prosecutors said details were ‘very vague’.

The town’s mayor, Edmond Francou, said the girl had suffered a perforated lung.

Police said they had a 37-year-old man in custody.

Three guesses as to the perpetrators’ religion.

  1.  He was born in in Morocco and his name is Mohamed B which is a bit of a giveaway.

    "Initial reports claimed the man struck because he was angered by the women being "scantily dressed," but a local prosecutor has denied this. 

    Raphaël Balland, prosecutor of Gap, said: "I wanted to quash the rumour currently doing the rounds because on no account did this man make such comments about the fact that the attack may have been motivated by the victims' dress code."

    The attacker, named as Mohamed B, 37, "may have acted out of religious motives", French television channel TF1 reported.

    Despite the prosecutor's denial, TF1 reported that he was angry that the girls were wearing shorts."
