7. Now saying she was not in the supermarket; might even have been in Syria all along

Hayat Boumeddiene, 26, described by police as “armed and dangerous”, is wanted on suspicion of being the accomplice of Amedy Coulibaly in the brutal shooting of a young trainee policewoman in Montrouge on Thursday.

Quoting French police sources, French media have reported there is currently no firm evidence that she was present at or involved in Coulibaly’s hostage-taking at a Jewish supermarket in northern Paris on Friday.

There are reports in Le Monde and other parts of the French media that Hayat Boumeddiene – currently labelled France’s most-wanted woman for her suspected involvement in the atrocities committed by her partner, Amedy Coulibaly – could have fled the country before this week’s attacks took place.

Le Monde reports that Boumeddiene is suspected to have flown to Istanbul on 2 January, from where she reportedly travelled to Syria.
