The man had been in telephone contact with Adel Kermiche and Abdel Malik Petitjean, who interrupted a church service in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, western France, on July 26, and slit the throat of 85-year-old Roman Catholic priest Father Jacques Hamel.
这名男子曾与阿德尔·克尔米奇和阿卜杜·勒马利克·帕迪让通过电话联系，后二者于7月26日在法国西部圣埃蒂安杜鲁夫赖镇闯入一个教堂仪式现场并割断了85岁的罗马天主教神父雅克·哈默尔的喉咙。
