Nice killer regularly used dating sites to pick up male and female lovers - He was a practicing homosexual
Details of 31-year-old's personal life have emerged from a thorough examination of his cell phone.
It reveals that - despite claims that he had recently been radicalised into a strict Islamist - he was a practising homosexual, as well as someone who drank alcohol and smoked drugs.
The phone was picked up by police officers after they shot him dead last Thursday in a lorry that he had used to kill 85 people on the Promenade des Anglais, in the French city of Nice.
According to officers, the phone is proving more important to the investigation than the seven suspects currently in custody for their links to the terrorist.
They range from two Albanians suspected of supplying a pistol to Bouhlel, and others whose phone numbers appeared on the phone.
But the device itself is full of messages, videos and photographs, including ones of men and women Boulel had recently slept with.
'The testimony which investigators are relying on most is that of the mobile phone,' reported the BFM TV news channel, basing their report on evidence leaked to them.
Two hundred officers are now working exclusively on enquiries related to data found on the phone.
Boulel loved sending selfie photos to people, and would record all of his relationships with other people, however brief.
