French Education Minister Edouard Geffray has pledged to "dissect" a report concerning a suspect in a murder case. Jérôme B., accused in the killing of Lyhanna, was previously employed at a high school.

Appearing on TF1, Geffray confirmed that, to his knowledge, the national education services did not notify the gendarmerie after the suspect's dismissal from the lycée where he worked. This lack of notification has raised questions about the handling of the case.

Geffray's statement indicates a commitment to understanding the full circumstances surrounding the report that targeted Jérôme B. The minister's intention to "decortiquer" (dissect or thoroughly examine) the process suggests a desire for transparency and accountability in how such situations are managed within the education system.
