Kim Kardashian's Paris robbery crime scene photographs emerge on French television, including tape used to bind reality star’s hands

Photographs from the apartment where Kim Kardashian was the victim of a violent £8.5 million heist have been shown on French television.

In October 2016, Ms Kardashian, the wife of US rapper Kanye West, was gagged and tied up by masked robbers who had gained access to her suite at the exclusive Hotel de Pourtalès by posing as police officers.

Mrs Kardashian, 36, was locked up in the bathroom before the robbers fled the scene with a ring worth five million euros, a case of jewellery worth four million, and two mobile phones.

The images of crime scene at the exclusive accommodation, shown by French television network TF1 on Sunday, include the gag used during the robbery, as well as tape used to bind the reality star's arms and legs.

The report also showed photographs of the robbery suspects sitting outside the A Mon Café, some three miles from the  Hotel de Pourtalès, a 19th century neo-Renaissance town mansion in Paris' cosseted 8th arrondissement. 

Several men have since been charged for the theft of jewellery worth £8.5million.

Ms Kardashian broke her silence about the robbery last month, admitting she feared for her life in a new trailer for Keeping Up With The Kardashians released by E!.

"They're going to shoot me in the back. There's no way out," Ms Kardashian told her two sisters, Kourtney and Khloe, in the trailer.
