On February 22, 2023, Agnès Lassalle, Spanish teacher, was stabbed by a student in a high school in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques. A tribute ceremony was held a year later, during which a commemorative plaque was unveiled.
A final tribute in front of her coffin: it was while dancing that Agnès Lassalle’s companion decided to say goodbye to her on the day of the funeral. One year ago today, on February 22, 2023, the 52-year-old Spanish teacher was killed in the middle of class by one of her students. The day after his death, a minute of silence was dedicated to him in schools throughout France.
“I ruined my life, it’s all over”
On February 22, 2023, Agnès Lassalle gave her class at the Saint-Thomas d’Aquin high school in Saint-Jean-de-Luz (Pyrénées-Atlantiques). The 16-year-old student took action at 9:45 a.m., closing the classroom, with a roll of Sopalin in hand. He then took out a knife and struck his teacher. “I ruined my life, it’s all over”, he would then have declared. The teenager was indicted for murder and placed in pre-trial detention.
