Paris: Two people have been charged with the murder of an 85-year-old French Jewish woman, who was stabbed and whose body was then set alight in a crime being treated as anti-Semitic, a judicial source said Tuesday. The two suspects, who were taken into custody, have also been charged with aggravated robbery, the source said. The autopsy revealed the Jewish woman had been stabbed several times before the fire. Two suspects have been put in custody and may face possible charges for premeditated murder of a vulnerable person for anti-Semitic motives. In 2011, an Islamist gunman shot dead three children and a teacher and a Jewish school in the southwestern city of Toulouse.
