France: teargas grenade that killed woman 'may have been fired directly at her flat'

Zineb Redouane, 80, was closing her shutters during gilets jaunes protest when she was fatally injured

A report into the death of an 80-year-old woman hit by a teargas grenade during a gilets jaunes demonstration in 2018 has suggested the police officer fired directly at her apartment.

Zineb Redouane was closing the shutters of her fourth floor flat in central Marseille when she was struck by the canister. Ballistic experts say it would have been travelling at over 97 km/h when it smashed into her chest and face, causing devastating injuries.
