Another man, Mohamed Lamine A, who was due to marry Sarah H, was also arrested on Thursday.

Police were investigating Friday whether the women have ties to recent terrorist attacks in France.
The involvement of women in terrorism is not unknown.
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said the three “radicalised and fanaticised” women were “preparing new, violent and imminent actions”.
The women, aged 19, 23 and 39, were arrested in Boussy-Saint-Antoine, a small town 19 miles (30km) south-east of Paris, on Thursday night after they were linked to the discovery of a auto packed with gas cylinders parked near the cathedral last weekend.
Security in train stations around Paris was visibly higher Friday as the investigation widened.
The women are reported to have been carrying knives when arrested.

Several people have been arrested and questioned in the case of the auto of gas cylinders.
One of the daughters, aged 19, who was named by news agencies as Ines Madani, was known to intelligence agencies and had been on a radicalisation watchlist for her wish to leave to join jihadists in Syria.
A bystander’s cellphone video from Boussy-Saint-Antoine showed an unidentified woman shouting “Allahu Akbar” or “God is the Greatest” in Arabic as several officers carried her away.
Reports say they were each armed with knives and Madani used hers to stab a police officer, who responded by shooting her in the legs.
Police said they found seven gas cylinders and three jerry cans of diesel but no detonators in the abandoned Peugeot 607.
Ines Madani also knew Rachid Kassim, one of the extremists suspected of being connected to the murder of Father Jacques Hamel in northern Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray in July, RTBF said.
Police shot and wounded Ines M., who was the driver of the abandoned vehicle. Boumeddiene is wanted in France having fled to Syria shortly before the Charlie Hebdo killings. He also has a brother who is now in prison for having connections with Larossi Abballa, an IS militant who killed a policeman and his partner in June of this year.
Four people – two brothers and their girlfriends – are already in custody over the discovery of the vehicle.
The others held by police in the current operation are two couples.
The auto was found abandoned and with its lights on, but forensics teams have since examined the vehicle and declared it safe.

“If it was an attack plot, the method was very odd”, a police source said Thursday. Both are aged 26 or 27 and the man is the brother of the 34-year-old suspect detained on the motorway.
