Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe suspect in the beheading of a teacher outside a school in France asked students in the street to point out the victim, a French anti-terror prosecutor says.
Jean-Francois Ricard also says the suspect, a Chechen, shared a photo of the teacher’s body on Twitter and wrote that he carried out the murder, according to Reuters.
The teacher, Samuel Paty, recently showed his students in the Paris suburb of Conflans Saint-Honorine cartoons of the Muslim prophet Mohammed. French President Emmanuel Macron labelled the killing an Islamist terror attack.
