Eight on trial in France over murder of teacher who showed Prophet caricature

PARIS (Reuters) -The father of a French pupil whose account of the use of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad in a class on free speech led to the teacher’s brutal murder went on trial on Monday, accused of association with a terrorist network. Days after Samuel Paty, 47, showed his pupils the caricatures, in 2020, an 18-year-old assailant of Chechen origin stabbed him repeatedly and beheaded him outside his school in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine near Paris.
