Arras Attack: Ongoing Investigation into Teacher's Murder
One year after the assassination of Dominique Bernard, three individuals remain under examination as authorities explore the attack's planning and motives.
- Dominique Bernard, a French teacher, was killed by Mohammed Mogouchkov, a former student, in a stabbing attack at a school in Arras on October 13, 2023.
- Mogouchkov, along with his younger brother and cousin, are the only individuals still facing charges related to the attack, including terrorism-related offenses.
- Investigators are scrutinizing Mogouchkov's claim of acting alone, despite evidence of communication with his brother and cousin regarding the attack.
- The assailant expressed anti-republican sentiments, targeting Bernard for teaching values associated with democracy and human rights.
- The investigation is delving into the suspects' familial and digital connections, including ties to their father, who was expelled from France for radicalization.
