A French couple, both music teachers, are being tried in Bordeaux for allegedly attempting to sacrifice their five-year-old son in the Sahara desert. The couple was arrested in late 2023 while traveling on the road to Morocco. Prosecutors have charged them with criminal conspiracy, citing mystical statements and indoctrination as part of the case. The trial focuses on the couple's intent to carry out the act, which authorities believe was motivated by their belief that the child was possessed.
