Jacqueline Sauvage was allowed to walk free from prison after Francois Hollande used a special power to release her, saying her "place was no longer in prison but with her family".

Ms Sauvage was given a 10-year sentence for killing her alcoholic and abusive husband in 2012, shooting him three times in the back with his own hunting rifle the day after their son hanged himself.

Her trial heard how Norbert Marot had raped and beaten her and her three daughters for years and was also violent towards their son.

Ms Sauvage became a cause celebre when her daughters launched a petition for her release, which attracted nearly 400,000 signatures.

J'ai décidé d'accorder à Jacqueline Sauvage une remise gracieuse du reliquat de sa peine. Cette grâce met fin immédiatement à sa détention.

In January Mr Hollande gave a partial pardon, reducing her sentence, but on Wednesday he granted Ms Sauvage a full pardon.

One of her lawyers, Nathalie Tomasini, said she was "overcome by joy and emotion".

The French president was granted the power to decree pardons in 1958.

Ms Sauvage is one of only two people to have been granted a pardon by Mr Hollande.

He allowed Philippe El Shennawy, France's longest-serving prisoner, to be freed on parole after 38 years in prison.

The President-elect has named Rex Tillerson as his choice of top diplomat but his close links to Russian President Vladimir Putin have raised concerns.

Mr Tillerson, the outgoing ExxonMobile chief executive, has had extensive business dealing with Russia and was awarded Russia's Order of Friendship by President Putin in 2013.

The US Senate has to vote to approve Mr Tillerson's appointment and although many Democratic senators have expressed doubt, Senator McCain has now indicated that some Republicans are worried too.

He said: "I and several of my colleagues have concerns about Mr Tillerson, and some of his past activities, specifically his relationship with Vladimir Putin.

"I have concerns but at the same time I'm certain we will give Mr Tillerson an opportunity to make his case about why he is qualified to be Secretary of State."

Senator McCain made his comment during a visit to the Baltic states with fellow US Senators Amy Klobuchar and Lindsey Graham.

The trio also demanded answers to claims from the CIA and FBI that Russian hackers tried to swing the US presidential election in Mr Trump's favour.

Senator Graham, a Republican, said: "You can expect that the US Congress will investigate the Russian involvement in our elections and I predict there will be bi-partisan sanctions coming that will hit Russia hard, particularly Putin as an individual.

"It is now time for Russia to understand - enough is enough."

Video:Russia hits back at US hacking claims

Senator McCain described President Putin as a "thug and a murderer".

Russia has dismissed the threat of sanctions as a "provocation directed by the White House".

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said: "To be honest, we are tired of lies about the 'Russian hackers', which is being poured down in the United States from the very top."

President-elect Trump said: "I think we ought to get on with our lives. I think that computers have complicated lives greatly. The whole age of computer has made it that nobody knows exactly what's going on."
