(Radio France) French prosecutors have called for the trial of 14 people over the beheading of schoolteacher Samuel Paty by an Islamic extremist in 2020. Two adults face the charge of complicity in a terrorist murder. Six other adults and six minors under the age of 18 face lesser charges.
The two facing the most serious charge have been named by police as Azim Epsirkhanov and Naim Boudaoud.
Both were friends of the murderer, 18-year-old Abdullakh Anzorov, who was shot dead by police at the scene of Paty’s killing.
It is alleged that the pair accompanied Anzorov to buy the murder weapon, and that Boudaoud travelled with him to the school where Paty taught history and geography.
