The ISIS fanatic accused of decapitating a French factory boss took a selfie with the severed head, it was revealed today.
A source close to the investigation said the photograph of Herve Cornara’s head with suspect Yassin Salhi, 35, was sent via WhatsApp to a Canadian mobile phone number.
Investigators said it was not possible to fix the location of Salhi’s contact, but it has been reported the recipient of the message was in Syria where ISIS has seized swaths of territory.
Conara’s head was found pinned to the gates at the American-owned Air Products factory in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, surrounded by two Islamist flags, on Friday.
The victim was the boss at ATC-colicom in Chassieu – near the scene of yesterday’s horrific execution – and ran his own business offering a delivery service. He had been strangled before he was decapitated.
On Saturday hundreds of people turned out in the region to honour Conara and denounce the violence, while dozens turned out for a minute of silence in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier.
Salhi, his wife and his sister remain in custody in Lyon in connection with his beheading, and for setting off the explosion at the Air Products gas factory in south-eastern France.
