PARIS – They had sat opposite each other in Paris’ main courtroom since the trial began in September. In the dock was Ali Riza Polat, charged with aiding and abetting Amédy Coulibaly, Saïd and Chérif Kouachi – the terrorists who attacked the Charlie Hebdo satirical newspaper and Hyper Cacher supermarket, killing 17 people in January 2015. On the other side, in the victims’ families’ section, was Eric Cohen, the father of 22-year-old Yohan Cohen, the first of four men murdered in the kosher store.
Eric Cohen attended every court session, listening to the gruesome description of his son’s death. France’s former anti-terror chief showed CCTV stills in which Coulibaly was seen shooting Yohan, who collapsed into the trolleys.
