(AFP) Three teenagers were indicted Friday in the murder of French history teacher Samuel Paty, beheaded last month after showing cartoons of the Prophet Mohamed to his students during a free speech lesson, a judicial source told AFP.
Two 18-year-old men and a 17-year-old girl have been charged with “criminal terrorist conspiracy,” the source said. They were arrested on Tuesday.
The men — one French and one a Russian of Chechen origin — are suspected of having been in contact with Paty’s killer, 18-year-old Abdullakh Anzorov, and have been placed in pre-trial detention.
The girl was placed in a youth detention centre. She had been in contact with one of the two men.
