14 people in court in the case of the murder of Samuel Paty. The 47-year-old history-geography teacher was stabbed and then beheaded at the exit of his college in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine (Yvelines) on October 16, 2020 by a radicalized Islamist who accused him of having shown caricatures of Mohammed in class. More than two years after the tragedy, anti-terrorist investigating judges ordered on Tuesday that 14 people be tried.
In its indictment, the National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor's Office (PNAT) demanded that the fourteen people indicted for these facts be tried: at the special assizes for the eight adults, including two for complicity in terrorist murder, and by the juvenile court for the six schoolchildren involved.
For this act, which had caused a great stir in France and abroad, these magistrates ask that the most serious offence, complicity in terrorist murder, be retained for two friends of the assailant Abdullakh Anzorov. Six other adults will be tried with them at the assizes for terrorist criminal association.
