Nice attack: Grief and anger in France after church stabbings

For the living, though, peace seems far from reach. We met the treasurer of Notre-Dame, Jean-Francois Gourdon, outside the church. He knew Vincent Loquès well. He told me how he’d left Vincent in the church on Thursday morning, just before the attack, and returned to find him dead – a large wound to his throat. Telling his wife was awful, he said. She’d been planning celebrations for his birthday this week.
