Mohammed Mogouchkov, 21, born in Russia, was indicted and imprisoned by an anti-terrorism investigating judge four days after the attack which he claimed in the name of the Islamic State (IS) organization. A minute of silence will be organized in French middle and high schools on October 14, in memory of Samuel Paty and Dominique Bernard.
