Overview

  • The 31-year-old education assistant, Mélanie G., was fatally stabbed at the gate of Françoise Dolto college in Nogent on June 10 during a gendarme-led bag check.
  • A 14-year-old student with no prior criminal record but two temporary exclusions was arrested on site with a 34-centimeter kitchen knife, which prosecutors say he had chosen to cause the maximum damage and planned since Saturday.
  • Minister Elisabeth Borne has ordered a minute of silence at all schools on Thursday at noon and deployed mobile security teams and psychological support cells in the Reims academy.
  • President Macron denounced “insane violence” on X and Prime Minister François Bayrou pledged within two weeks to ban knife sales to minors and to pilot weapon-detection scanners at school entrances.
  • The gendarmerie de Nogent and the Chaumont prosecutor’s office are investigating the student’s motives, the role of mental health concerns, and the effectiveness of current school security protocols.
