Baker Convicted for 2024 Bagneux Killing, Given 20-Year Sentence

A Nanterre jury convicted the accused after prosecutors showed brief CCTV footage they said proved a premeditated, lethal attack

Overview

  • The killing took place in April 2024 at a bakery in Bagneux when one colleague stabbed another multiple times during a confrontation.
  • Prosecutors presented city surveillance that they said shows a 16-second assault with eight stab wounds and a final blow to the victim’s left carotid.
  • The public prosecutor had requested a 25-year term when requisitions were read in court on September 9, 2026.
  • The cour d’assises handed the defendant a 20-year prison sentence on September 10, 2026, finding evidence that supported premeditation over the defense’s claim of no intent to kill.
  • A second man, Gaith R., was convicted for failing to assist a person in danger and received a three-year term with four months to be served, underlining separate liability for those who did not intervene.
