EXCLUSIVE - 'He drank alcohol, ate pork and took drugs. He was NOT a Muslim - he was a s***': Truck terrorist's cousin reveals he is an 'unlikely jihadist' who beat his wife and NEVER went to the mosque ..

Killer Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel was known to police for violent abuse, theft and 'use of weapons' before he embarked on a rampage that would leave 84 dead.

He had been arrested following a brawl in a pub on January 27 and his last appearance in a criminal court was as recent as March, when he was found guilty of violent contact.

Delivery driver Bouhlel had also recently been put under probation after he fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into four vehicles on a highway, it is claimed in Spanish newspaper El Mundo.

However, the man had never been associated with any acts of terrorism before the Bastille Day slaughter, and he was not under surveillance.

Several of his relatives and close friends have been taken into police custody for questioning and simultaneous raids are continuing in the Abattoirs area of Nice.

Neighbours of Bouhlel described him as a 'lonely' and 'silent' man, with one saying he never returned their greetings.

Meanwhile, investigators are using the city's 1,200 surveillance cameras to track the route of the lorry before the attack.

It is understood that Bouhlel had rented the truck on Wednesday from a specialist garage at Saint Laurent du Var by Nice Airport.

Police have discovered CCTV footage of the moment he boarded the lorry in the hills around Nice, according to reports.

It has also been claimed he was parked on the promenade for nearly nine hours before the attack, but was allowed to stay because he told police he was delivering ice cream.

Documents found in the cab included an ID, a mobile phone and a credit card.

Security sources said a huge cache of guns, grenades and 'larger weapons' were later found inside the lorry.

. Wissam, a Tunisian neighbour from the same village as the driver claimed: ‘On the Thursday night he was drinking with a colleague and they argued. His pal said you’re worth nothing and he replied: ‘One day, you’ll hear about me.’

Speaking to L’Express he said: 'Look this is someone who drinks, smokes cannabis.'
