A suspected accomplice to the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack, Hayat Bourmeddience, has reportedly fled to Syria, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.
The 26-year-old is believed to be the wife or girlfriend of Amedy Coulibaly, a gunman who took hostages at a kosher grocery store in Paris' inner east. Before he was killed in a police raid, Coulibaly claimed he had "synchronised" his attacks with the Kouachi brothers' attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine.
A source familar with the situation said on Saturday the suspected female accomplice of Islamists behind attacks in Paris was likely in Turkey at the time of the killings.
Police initially suspected she may have had a role in her partner Amedy Coulibaly's acts of violence on Thursday and Friday when he shot dead a policewoman and took people hostage in a Paris siege.
A police source said investigators are checking whether she is now in Syria.
Coulibaly and the Kouachi brothers were all shot dead by police during separate raids on Friday.
There were unconfirmed reports on following the raids that Boumeddiene took part in the grocery store siege in Paris.
French police issued an alert on Thursday for Boumeddiene as well as Coulibaly in connection with the murder of policewoman Clarrisa Jean-Philippe at Montrouge, a commune in the southern Parisian suburbs. Police said they were "likely armed and dangerous".
