Girl, 9, killed by man outlawed from France

A man who was supposed to have been expelled from France admitted yesterday to kidnapping and killing a girl in the northern town of Calais after she shot a water pistol at him.

Police arrested Zbigniew Huminski, 38, on Wednesday, hours after kidnapping, raping, and killing the girl.

The girl, identified by her first name as Chloe, had been playing in a small park before being violently abducted by Huminski after she sprayed water on him from her pistol as he drank a beer, said prosecutor Jean-Pierre Valensi.
