Man held over jihadist murders of French police couple

French police arrested a man Monday in connection with the jihadist murder of a police couple after his DNA was matched to traces found in their home, legal sources said.

The 24-year-old has been linked to Larossi Aballa, the Islamic State extremist who claimed the June 2016 attack in a live video from the scene before being killed by police in a shootout, the sources added.
