The trial surrounding the assassination of Samuel Paty has shed light on the tragic sequence of events leading to his death.

Samuel Paty, a history teacher, was killed on October 16, 2020, by Abdoullakh Anzorov, an 18-year-old radicalized individual.

The trial has revealed how a false narrative by a student escalated tensions, culminating in a targeted attack.

Testimonies from Paty's colleagues highlighted the deep divisions within the school community prior to the incident.

The court also heard from Paty's family, who shared their grief and the impact of his death on their lives.
