Action in memory of the deceased in Lille
A Chechen who beheaded a teacher near Paris was filming the murder. Writes about this Daily Mail.
According to the publication, 18-year-old Abdulakh Anzorov himself shared photos and videos on social networks and instant messengers after the massacre. In particular, he sent them to some Chechen channels in Telegram, in which supporters of the terrorist group “Islamic State” (IS, banned in Russia) gather. The family reportedly do not know the young man's motives and believe that someone influenced him.
The Daily Mail notes that the killer's half-sister traveled to Syria in 2014 to join IS. An anti-terrorist investigation was conducted against her.
It is now believed that Anzorov attacked teacher Samuel Paty after seeing a video on the network. On it, the father of one of the schoolgirls condemned the teacher for showing the children a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad. The video said in which educational institution this happened.
Earlier it was reported that a photo of the severed head of the teacher was posted on Twitter. In the post, the Chechen turned to French President Emmanuel Macron, stating that he “executed the teacher who dared to humiliate the Prophet Muhammad.”
The murder took place on the evening of October 16 in a suburb of Paris. The perpetrator tracked down the teacher at the college, killed him and beheaded him. The terrorist was later shot dead. According to law enforcement officials, the killer was a young man who was born in Moscow and at the age of six moved with his family to France, where he received the status of a political refugee.
The Russian embassy in France has already stated that the killer had nothing to do with Russia and did not contact the diplomatic mission.
