Teacher ‘beheaded’ in Paris has been named

A History teacher ‘beheaded’ by an Islamist terrorist in Paris has been named.

47-year-old teacher Samuel Paty was murdered after showing a cartoon of a nude Prophet Mohammed in his freedom of expression class. As reported in The Mirror, a colleague at the Bois-d’Aulne college said that Mr Paty was “concerned for his safety” after several parents expressed anger about the cartoon.

Mr Paty’s colleague said:

“Samuel had angered parents by showing a picture of a nude Prophet Mohammed to kids in his freedom of expression class, and there had been threats against him.”

Paty’s killer has been named as Aboulakh A, 18, a Russian of Chechen origin. Aboulakh A reportedly shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ – ‘God is the greatest’ – before posting a picture of the tragic teacher’s decapitated head online.

Nine other people have been arrested in connection with the murder, including the father of a pupil at the Bois-d’Aulne college. The man posted a video on YouTube calling Mr Paty “a thug” shortly before the attack.
