Last updated on September 11th, 2021 at 08:19 am

It was a sad day in the city of Paris as a school instructor was beheaded by unknown men in Paris, the identity of the victim is Samuel Paty before he was tragically killed

An instructor executed on a road close to Paris on Friday evening has been named as Samuel Paty by French Education MinisterJean-Michel Blanquer.

The presumed executioner, who authorities said was a 18-year-old Chechen outcast, was equipped with a blade and a plastic pellet weapon, was later shot dead by officials in a close by town, police said.

French specialists have dispatched an enemy of fear examination.

President Emmanuel Macron considered it an “death” and an “Islamist psychological oppressor assault”.

This is what we think about the assault up until now:

Who was the person in question?

Paty, a 47-year-old history and geology instructor, was executed close to the school in the cooperative of Conflans Saint-Honorine, northwest of the French capital, at around 5 pm nearby time.

Police told the BBC office that he had facilitated a class conversation with optional school understudies about drawing of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.

Some Muslim guardians said they had whined to the school and French media announced Paty had gotten various dangers in the wake of the class.

Blanquer said the school had taken “proper” steps because of the grievances in setting up estimates that both “upheld the educator and opened up an exchange with guardians”.
