EUROPE IS HAVING QUITE A WEEK: French prosecutors drop murder charges against Jewish kindergarten teacher Sarah Halimi’s killer. Psychiatric experts say Kobili Traoré had smoked cannabis and may have been unaware of his actions. “Witnesses said the 65-year-old was beaten and called a ‘demon’ by her attacker, who recited Koranic verses as he threw her off her balcony. In an appeals court hearing on Wednesday Traoré admitted killing Ms Halimi, saying he was not aware of his actions on the night of the murder and did not recognise when he broke in.”
