Two ISIS terrorists stormed a church in Normandy before slitting the throat of an elderly priest in front of terrified worshippers during mass.

Adel Kermiche, 19, and his accomplice, Abdel Malik Petitjean, 19, forced 84-year-old Father Jacques Hamel to kneel then filmed themselves butchering him and performing a 'sermon in Arabic' at the altar of the church in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, according to witnesses.

Kermiche was being monitored with an electronic ankle tag having earlier been arrested for twice attempting to flee France to join the terror group in Syria.

His bail conditions allowed him to roam unsupervised between 8.30am and 12.30pm, leaving him free to murder the priest during the morning service.

Both were shot dead by police marksmen in Rouen as they emerged from the building shouting 'Allahu Akbar' following the attack that also left a nun critically injured.
