French serial killer Michel Fourniret's widow, Monique Olivier, arrives in the courtroom's dock to stand trial for complicity in the abduction and murder of little girl and two young women in northern France. Spanning three decades, the murders included a 9 year old girl on her way back from school, a mentally disabled 18 year old and a 20 year olf British woman whose body was found in a river in 1990. Fourniret, known as the "ogre of the Ardennes", was charged with abduction, rape and murder in the cases but died in 2021, aged 79, before he could be brought to trial. IMAGES
Trial opens for six teenagers for their role in the 2020 beheading of French teacher Samuel Paty, the first of two trials in a case that horrified France. The suspects, who were between the ages of 13 and 15 at the time of the murder, are accused of having been on the lookout for Paty, identifying him to the killer in exchange for money, or for making false accusations. Paty, a 47-year-old history and geography teacher, was stabbed and then beheaded near his secondary school in the Paris suburb of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine. His attacker was shot dead at the scene by police. IMAGES
