‘Chloe’ killing suspect hid in girl’s bedroom with a knife six years ago

A man accused of kidnapping and murdering a nine-year-old girl in Calais was previously found hiding in another child’s bedroom with a knife, it has emerged. Zbigniew Huminski was discovered crouched under a desk in a sleeping child’s bedroom in 2009, six years before this week’s horrific kidnap and killing. He lunged out in the darkness with the weapon when the child’s mother went to check on her - then leapt out of the window to escape. The Polish immigrant later told a psychologist in jail that he was “not like other people” and was assessed as a dangerous psychopath.

It is up to the legal system now to carry out the investigation and what we owe to the family is the whole truth.

Huminski is under arrest in France after the nine-year-old girl, known only as Chloe, was snatched from a playground in Calais. She was bundled into a car in front of her mother and her naked body later found in woods. "It happened too fast … I was paralysed,“ her mother Isabelle said. Initial forensic tests revealed she had been sexually assaulted and strangled.

My son knew her, he didn’t sleep last night, he knows he will never see her again.
