Charlie Hebdo editor's widow: We talked of possibility of death

Jeannette Bougrab, the widow of Charlie Hebdo editor, Stephane Charbonnier went straight to the scene of her husband's killing because she "didn't want his body to be left alone".

Stephane Charbonnier was killed in the armed attack by two gunmen on the Paris offices of the satirical magazine.

She described him as "a beautiful man" and revealed that just an hour before the shooting he had texted her to say "I love you".

Miss Bourgrab, a former French government minister, said she had a "beautiful life" with Mr Charbonnier, but the two had spoken of the possibility that he may be killed by fundamentalists.
