Nine people arrested in the case of the murder of a teacher in France
Five more people were detained as part of the investigation into the murder of a teacher in France; a total of nine people are in custody, BFMTV reports.
First, French police detained four members of the attacker's family, parents, grandfather and 17-year-old brother. Then five more people were detained, including the father of one of the students, his friend and three other people. All of them were detained in two communes of the Yvelines department – in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine and Chantelou.
We will remind, on Friday near an educational institution in the suburbs of Paris, an unknown person beheaded a history teacher. The suspect was shot by police.
The deceased teacher taught freedom of speech lessons, in which he showed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, which caused discontent among the parents of several students.
The alleged murderer of the teacher is an 18-year-old boy who was born in Moscow. French President Emmanuel Macron arrived at the scene and called the teacher's murder a terrorist attack. The investigation of the crime is carried out by the anti-terrorist department of the prosecutor's office.
