[Star Wars] Was it big news when Obi-Wan killed Darth Maul?

Just wondering what the wider public and the Jedis reaction to a Padawan beating a fully trained Sith was.

It was pretty closely guarded as a secret. While the Jedi order knew about it the greater public didn't. Only those with an understanding of the Jedi history would even care. It'd be like hearing about a long dead religious order appearing and fighting a more prominent religion. Most of the Galaxy couldn't tell the difference between sith and Jedi and often confused the two in their history lessons if they taught them at all. But it was kept a secret to help keep stability that it was just the trade federation acting alone instead of shadow conspiracy that still posed a threat.
