France attack: What we know about the stabbings in Nice
Who was the attacker?
Police have not yet confirmed the suspect's name, although French and Italian media have named him as Brahim Aioussaoi. According to Mr Ricard, the suspect is a Tunisian national born in 1999. He is said to have entered Europe on 20 September, travelling by boat to the Italian island of Lampedusa, before later arriving in France.
The suspect was found with a document issued by the Italian Red Cross, although it is not clear how he was able to leave Lampedusa or reach France. Mr Ricard said the man was not known to French security services.
Tunisian authorities have also opened an investigation, but a senior judiciary official said the suspect had not been listed as a terrorist in the country. On Friday, French police said they had arrested a 47-year-old man in connection with the attack. He is suspected of having been in contact with the knifeman the day before.
As France grieved, tributes have been paid to the three victims - a church staff member and two female worshippers.

While crowds gathered across the country to mourn Mr Paty's death, the killing reopened the debate about secularism and freedom of speech in France.
President Macron pledged to crack down on radical Islam following Mr Paty's killing. However, his response has been met with protests and calls for a boycott of French goods in a number of Muslim countries. Two other attacks took place on Thursday: one in France and one outside the French consulate in the Saudi city of Jeddah.
