The man suspected of stabbing four children in a playground in France has been held on charges of attempted murder. French judges handed the preliminary charges to the 31-year-old Syrian asylum seeker, who has not been named, on Saturday. He is due to appear in court this afternoon. The stabbings left four children - including a three-year-old British child - fighting for their lives. Two adults were also injured in the attack which unfolded on Thursday morning in the picturesque town of Annecy in the French Alps.
