The murder of history and geography professor Samuel Paty on October 16, 2020, will be the subject of two trials. Anti-terrorist magistrates ordered trials on Tuesday, May 16, for eight adults and before the juvenile court for six teenagers.
Paty was stabbed and beheaded near his school in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, Yvelines, by Abdullakh Anzorov. The 18-year-old accused the teacher of showing caricatures of Mohammed in class during a class on freedom of expression.
