The trial of a teenager accused of murdering teacher Agnès Lassalle opened in France on Monday, more than three years after the fatal attack occurred inside a secondary school classroom in the southwestern town of Saint-Jean-de-Luz. The defendant, who was 16 years old at the time of the incident, faces charges for the killing that sent shockwaves through the nation and ignited a fierce debate on school safety and adolescent violence. The proceedings are expected to last several days as the court examines the circumstances of the November 2020 stabbing, which took place during a Spanish lesson at the Lycée professionnel de Saint-Jean-de-Luz.

The killing of Agnès Lassalle became a national trauma, echoing other attacks on teachers in France and Europe.
