Monaco explosion twist as 'armed and dangerous' woman now prime suspect

Interpol, the international police organisation, is preparing to produce a Most Wanted red notice for the woman in her 30s after issuing an arrest warrant.

The woman has not yet been named publicly, but was filmed outside the Sun’s Palace – a lavish apartment block owned by Mr Yermolaiev.

She is believed to have dumped the backpack that exploded in the foyer, just before 9pm.

“The prime suspect was identified by a witness,” said an investigating source.

“She is a Ukrainian woman in her thirties.

“She is armed and dangerous, and thought to be in the company of accomplices,’ said the source. ‘She should be approached with extreme caution.”

CCTV footage showed the woman wearing a black bucket hat and long-sleeved fleeing on foot across the border to France, where there are no checkpoints.
