the french authorities have named the
man who beheaded a teacher in a paris
suburb yesterday
police believe samuel patti was targeted
because he
showed people's controversial cartoons
of the prophet muhammad
in a lesson on free speech abdullah
teenager died after being shot and
injured by police
here's our paris correspondent lucy
williamson
this is the moment police confronted the
man who beheaded a teacher on a suburban
street
drop your weapon they shout
the suspect shoots at them with a bb gun
the next sound you'll hear is police
firing back
today france's counter-terrorism
prosecutor named the suspect
as abdullah abdul yazidevic a an 18 year
old chechen man
with refugee status in france
he lived an hour's drive away from
confluence the prosecutor said
and had to ask school pupils to point
his target out
samuel patty was a 47 year old teacher
of history and geography
who decided to use two cartoons of
muhammad
as part of a class on freedom of speech
investigators say it sparked a social
media campaign by one
outraged parent and that there had been
threats against the school
yesterday there was a state of shock and
now the priority for us
is to look after the children because i
think it was very hard for them and it
still is
memories are going to come back he's
going to say my teacher's not there
and apparently there are photographs
going around of the scene i hope they
don't see those because i think they're
already going to be affected by this for
life
flowers mark the places where lives are
shattered
in france that list has grown a little
longer this week
confluence now remembered alongside
paris
nice all the other places where hatred
of french values
has left blood on the country's streets
