## Reported figures

- 1 deaths

## Coverage angles

Both sides cover the same trial at the Nice Assize Court, but the centrist media outlet details the course of the hearings and the injuries, while the right-wing outlet highlights the defendant's origin and the family context of the murder.

**Common ground**

- The trial opens before the Assize Court of the Alpes-Maritimes in Nice
- The victim, Valeria, 34, was pregnant and was fatally stabbed on June 1, 2022
- The defendant, Muslim Magomadov, 56, denies intent to kill
- The victim's 9-year-old son was present during the incident

**Differences**

- The right-wing outlet explicitly mentions the defendant's Chechen origin, an element absent from the titles of the centrist outlet
- The centrist outlet details the number of bruises and wounds as well as the course of the debates, an angle not covered in the right-wing article
