France attacker, partner 'never entered' Malaysia: Police

January 10, 2015 18:37

Malaysia today said the Islamist militant involved in the fatal hostage crisis in Paris and his partner "never entered" the country, amid assertions that they once visited the Muslim-majority nation for a vacation.

Inspector General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar's comments denied reports that claimed the duo -- Amedy Coulibay and his partner Hayat Boumeddiene -- had once travelled to Malaysia on a vacation. Khalid tweeted: "Paris attack -- Amedy and his wife Hayathave never entered M'sia."

Coulibaly was gunned down by security forces yesterday when they stormed a Jewish supermarket in eastern Paris where he had taken terrified shoppers hostage.
