Eight people accused of assisting an Islamic extremist who beheaded a French history teacher are set to hear the verdicts in their cases more than four years after the death of Samuel Paty outside his school.
Mr Paty was killed near Paris on October 16, 2020, days after showing his class cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad during a debate on free expression.
