Russia says Chechen accused of Paris suburb beheading no longer has links to country
PARIS — An 18-year-old Chechen accused of beheading a teacher near his school in a Paris suburb received asylum in France and had no links to Russia, a Russian diplomat says.
“This crime has no relation to Russia because this person had lived in France for the past 12 years,” the spokesman for the Russian embassy in Paris, Sergei Parinov, tells state news agency TASS.
