Charisse had no knowledge of their plot, but her association with Redouane has consumed her with guilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And she hasn&#8217;t told their six-year-old daughter about his murder spree. She did, however, meet Christine after an inquest determined that the victims were murdered unlawfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After being moved to tears by Charisse&#8217;s testimony at the victims&#8217; inquest on June 5, 2019, French tourist Christine asked Charisse&#8217;s family liaison officer if they could meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It was difficult,&#8221; Charisse says. I was scared because I didn&#8217;t want to say no but was worried about how she would react when she saw me. &#8220;I saw her in court; we were sitting across from each other in the public gallery.&#8221; I was always blaming myself. &#8216;Live your life and don&#8217;t blame yourself,&#8217; she advised. She remarked on how moving my evidence was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The widow of a London Bridge terrorist forms an unusual bond with the SURVIVOR
