'Will not give up cartoons': Teens charged over teacher's beheading in France

The teenager who beheaded a French teacher for displaying caricatures of Prophet Mohammad in class reportedly paid students outside the school to identify him.

According to France’s anti-terrorism prosecutor, Jean-Francois Ricard, the Chechen teenager had the details of the teacher’s name and the location of his school. This was owing to a parent initiating a campaign against Samuel Paty on social media. However, the killer could still not identify him.

"This identification was only possible with the help of students from the school. They identified him in exchange for payment," Ricard said during a news conference.

Additionally, Ricard said that the killer had arrived at school early on Friday afternoon, and also offered students money to identify the teacher. He offered between 300-350 euros ($350-$415).

At least seven people are being suspected of being complicit in the murder of the teacher, with with two aged 14 and 15. If a link is established after formal investigation, they would be treated as formal suspects.
