The French professor cut off the teenage terrorist "students were asked to point to the same" – BBC News

French authorities have named a teacher who beheaded him in an attack outside a school in a Paris suburb. Police believe Samuel Paty, a 47-year-old history and geography teacher, targeted students in a lesson on freedom of expression that he showed controversial cartoons of the prophet Mohammed. His attacker, an 18-year-old Chechen refugee, was killed after being shot by police. Officials say he waited outside the school and asked students to identify the teacher before the murder.
