Church sexton had throat slit while preparing for Mass: police source
Around 9:00am, a man armed with a knife entered the Notre Dame church in Nice and slit the throat of the sexton, beheaded an elderly woman, and badly wounded a third woman, according to a police source.
Vincent, the 54-year-old sexton, was a father of two and had just opened the church to prepare for the first Mass of the day.
Vincent and the elderly woman died on the spot, while the third woman managed to make it out of the church into a nearby cafe, but she later died from her wounds, Nice mayor Christian Estrosi told reporters at the scene.
