A teacher was murdered on the street in a Paris suburb. He had shown Muhammad cartoons from the satirical newspaper “Charlie Hebdo” in the Unterreich.
A terrible bloody act in a Paris suburb shocked France: on Friday night, police officers made a terrible find in Eragny, in the north-west of the French capital. According to reports from “Le Parisien”, the body of a “beheaded man” lay on the ground.
Shortly before, officers had discovered a man with a bloody kitchen knife in the street. He was caught after a short chase. When police asked to put his gun on the ground, the person reacted aggressively and threatened officers, authorities said. The police then shot the man. Shortly after, he was pronounced dead.
The man’s victim, who was killed with the knife, is said to be a history teacher who worked at a school next to the crime scene. The teacher is said to have recently held a discussion on freedom of expression in class. It showed, among other things, the controversial cartoons of Muhammad from the satirical newspaper “Charlie Hebdo”. Because of these cartoons, the newspaper’s editors had become the target of one of the worst terrorist attacks in France. In January 2015, the Kouachi brothers attacked the office of “Charlie Hebdo” and killed eleven people.
“An attack on the republic”
The trial against the alleged assistants of the killers is now underway. At the beginning of the trial, on September 25, a young Pakistani injured two employees of a manufacturing company with a butcher knife in front of the newspaper’s former offices on Rue Nicolas Appert in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. Later he was arrested.
Due to these circumstances, the anti-terrorist squad was tasked with investigating the crime on Friday night. The perpetrator also had a rifle with him. The man is said to be an 18-year-old Chechen, French media reported. At first, it was speculated that the assailant could be the father of one of the students the victim had taught.
President Emmanuel Macron went to the Interior Ministry’s crisis cell that night. He announced that he also wanted to visit the crime scene.
French Education Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer was shocked by the bloody act on the teacher: the country was united against terror, he wrote on Twitter. The attack is an attack on the republic.
