‘We don’t hate you,’ sister of British Bataclan victim tells accused in Paris trial

(AFP) The sister of the only Briton killed in the November 2015 Paris attacks told 14 people on trial in Paris over the bloodshed on Tuesday that while she and other victims’ families “deplore what you did, we don’t hate you.”

Nick Alexander was killed when gunmen stormed the Bataclan theatre in Paris during a rock concert as part of a series of coordinated attacks across the French capital ordered by the Islamic State group.

A total of 130 people were killed in the shootings and suicide bombings, which ended in a massacre at the Bataclan, where the US band Eagles of Death Metal were performing in front of a capacity crowd.

Alexander, who was 35, was the band’s merchandise manager.

He died in the arms of his ex-girlfriend Helen Wilson after sustaining gunshot wounds.
