'I sent a message of sympathy to him and his family,' she told Germany's Bild newspaper. Bild added; 'Amri was touched by the kind gesture and opened his heart to the stranger.'

They remain in contact daily using French as he speaks no German and she no Arabic. He calls her 'mon amour' - my love - and she refers to him as 'mon coeur,' or my heart.

Bild says the duo are talking of a wedding but are short of cash. The mother-of-three added; 'Money plays a part. I can't finance everything. But he knows that.'

Her children were fathered by Palestinian and Kurdish partners. 'Now it's just a Tunisian!' she jokes.

He tells her that the children pose no problem to their planned wedding, adding; 'Your children are my children.'

The plan is for her to fly to Tunisia in the summer, marry, and bring back Amri to Berlin - if the authorities would allow it.

Walid is said to call Susanne 'my love' and is happy to adopt her children as his own
