<p>Prosecutors said a suspect with no apparent link to Islamic terrorism had been identified after the incident in the village of Montferrier-sur-Lez, near Montpellier.</p>
<p>City prosecutor Christophe Barret said the suspect is believed to be someone <i>&#8220;in the entourage of this retirement home&#8221;.</i></p>
<p>He said investigators had discovered an airgun and other items in a car near the residence that helped identify the suspect.</p>
<p>About 100 police officers are searching for the suspect following the attack.<br />
Mr Barret earlier told reporters that a woman who works at the retirement home called police on Thursday night to say she had been attacked.</p>
<p>When officers arrived, they found the body of another woman, gagged and tied up outside the building with three stab wounds.</p>
<p>The worker who alerted police did not suffer serious injuries but was deeply shocked, and no-one else at the residence was harmed, the prosecutor said.</p>
<p>Security forces searched the complex but did not find the killer. Around 60 people live who live at the facility are not in danger, and the search is continuing in a larger perimeter with help from a helicopter and police dogs.</p>
<p>The residence, called Green Oaks, is operated by the African Missions Society, and takes in retired priests, nuns and others who have worked in Africa.</p>
<p>Olivier Ribadeau Dumas, spokesman for the French Catholic bishops&#8217; conference, tweeted condolences for the woman killed and added: <i>&#8220;Our prayers reach out also to the missionaries attacked in their retirement home in the Herault (region). God give them all peace.&#8221;</i></p>
