At times, they are at the center of the debates and this raw light thrown over their life seems to dazzle them, as was the case, Monday afternoon 14 and Tuesday morning February 15th, when the Special Assize Court From Paris looked at their career. Others, when the Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray (Seine-Maritime) attack occupies the bulk of the debates, they return to the shadow and attend their trial as if it were a fascinating and scary show .

At the trial of the assassination of Father Hamel, committed on July 26, 2016 in his church, three accused appear: Farid Khelil, 36, Jean-Philippe Jean Louis, 25, and Yassine Sebaihia, 27 years old. They have been in pre-trial detention since their arrest, in the summer of 2016. Already more than five and a half years, of which a good part spent on isolation.

Accused of “criminal terrorist criminal association”, they are not questioned for their role in the attack. Otherwise, they would also be pursued for their “complicity” with Adel Kermiche and Abdel-Malik Petitjean, the two assassins of Father Hamel. But did they know, have they encouraged or helped in any way? This will be the subject of the debates until the judgment, scheduled for March 9.

Of the three, Farid Khelil is the hugest, the least religious. Long hair gathered in a horse, thin glasses, easy verb, it’s a player who drinks, smoke cannabis, runs girls and even boys – but he has more trouble talking about it. After sloping studies, he wins his life as a road driver. But there is a fault: the absence of his Algerian father, separated from the mother without a word of explanation to children when he was 6 years old.

Khelil: “This costume, it’s too big. for me “

The mother, installed in Nancy, comes from a family of Harkis. She gave him an education “French”, without religion. The father, installed near Metz, embodies the tradition, the origins: his only gift to his son, an Algerian passport at 18 years old. He feels “the ass between two chairs”. He guilsing not to know Arabic, gets married with a cousin of Algeria. They have two children but Farid Khelil can not arrive. In 2015, his wife leave him, his employer the licencies.

It was at the end of the same year he meets his cousin, Abdel-Malik Petitjean. Come for the funeral of a common uncle, Petitjean makes morality in Khelil, talks about Islam and Syria. He does not drink, does not smoke, makes his prayers and Ramadan. During the first half of 2016, Farid Khelil, who came closer to his father and religion, find that “it is limited if [his] cousin was not pleased to my father than me”.
