An 18-year-old Russian of Chechen origin who beheaded a French history professor yesterday posted a photo of the corpse on Twitter and posted a message that he had committed the murder. This was announced to journalists today by the anti-terrorist prosecutor Jean-Francois Ricard, quoted by AFP and Reuters.
Before the crime, the young man, who was a refugee in France, detained the students on the street and wanted to show him the history teacher, who showed cartoons of the prophet Muhammad in class, Ricard said.
His residence permit was issued on March 4 of this year and was valid until March 2030, the prosecutor said. He clarified that the Chechen criminal was born in Moscow on March 12, 2002 and had the status of political refugee. He was not known to the security services, but was registered with the police for general crimes without having been convicted.
He lived in Evreux, in another department, Ricard said, but did not specify whether he had ever studied at a secondary school in Conflans-Saint-Honorine, where the 47-year-old teacher, who was beheaded on the way home yesterday, taught.
The attacker was shot by the police.
The magistrate confirmed that nine people were arrested, including the father of a schoolgirl, who called for revenge against the teacher on social media. He clarified that the man’s sister-in-law had joined the Islamic State in Syria in 2014 and that a counter-terrorism forces investigator had issued a search warrant against her.
The head of the press service of the Russian embassy in Paris, Sergei Parinov, told TASS today that the accused of the crime Abdullah Anzorov, who is of Chechen origin, has nothing to do with Russia, since he arrived in France with his family in 2008 at the age of 6. years. His family applied for political asylum, had a long-term residence permit and he himself received his own permit this year after reaching the age of majority, the diplomat said. He recalled that Russian citizenship is lost with the acquisition of the status of political refugee.
“In this case, the important thing is not where a person was born, but where, when and how he began to profess the terrorist ideology, which Russia always and unconditionally condemns in all its manifestations,” added the Russian diplomat.
In front of the secondary school in Conflans-Saint-Honorine, a queue of students and parents arrived today to place a white rose in front of the metal fence. The crowd was silent, only a few carried little notes saying “I am a teacher.”
