The Tunisian national suspected of carrying out the truck attack that killed 12 people in a Berlin Christmas market appears to have passed through Lyon in France as he fled to Italy, a French judicial source has said.

Video surveillance footage showed Anis Amri at the Lyon-Part-Dieu train station on Thursday, where officials believe he bought a ticket for Chambery, between Lyon and the Italian border.

Amri was shot dead near Milan in Italy in the early hours of Friday after he pulled a gun on police who had asked for his identification papers.

French officials are investigating how the suspect arrived in Lyon after the December 19 attack in Berlin, which has been claimed by the so-called Islamic State.
