The French schoolgirl who got her teacher murdered after horrid accusations admits she made up the story.
Samuel Paty, a History and Geography teacher at school in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, Paris, was beheaded after showing pictures of the Prophet Muhammad to his class. The appalling incident happened in October last year.
As per UNILAD, Paty was murdered after a 13-year-old student told her father that her teacher asked her Muslim classmates to leave the room before he showed the rest of the students âphotograph of the Prophet [Muhammad] naked.â
The concerned father then filed a legal complaint, sparking a wave of unrest against the teacher. He also used social media to post a video where he explains all of the allegations against Paty, resulting in global outrage from Muslim communities. Not long after, the teacher started receiving death threats, eventually leading to his murder.
