Six youngsters in France have been convicted of their roles in the savage killing of Samuel Paty after false accusations generated a storm online
Just 14 minutes before he stabbed and decapitated Samuel Paty, a French school teacher he felt deserved to die for the sin of blasphemy, Abdoullakh Anzorov made a last check that he was about to kill the right man.
It was a Friday afternoon in October 2020, and the Chechen-born Islamist was standing near a school in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, a sleepy suburban town northwest of Paris. He was talking to a group of five boys, aged 14 and 15, to whom he had promised a €300 (£257) reward for pointing out their teacher to him as he walked home after class.
