The 24-year-old German man who was killed in a knife attack near the Eiffel Tower on Saturday has been pictured for the first time.

Collin, who is identified only by his first name, was attacked by self-styled Isis terrorist Armand Rajabpour-Miyandoab, 26.

Both Collin and his wife were nurses and had worked in a retirement home in Germany since January, said an investigating source.

He added: ‘The murder victim was devoted to caring for other people.

‘During his holiday in Paris he had visited the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Disneyland.’

Rajabpour-Miyandoab, who had severe psychiatric problems and who was meant to be under surveillance by France’s intelligence services, set upon Collin in front of his wife and another female friend.
