Corpses litter the streets of the city, as confirmed by this French priest. Father Pierre Jault: "They are drunk with blood. Now they ask people for cards to see their ethnicity on them. I saw corpses on the road! The people who had taken refuge in the church, we took them out of the church, we killed them".
