France teacher had received 'days of threats' before his brutal killing...


Samuel Paty, a father, had taken a class about freedom of expression earlier in the month, reports say.
He is said to have shown the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad while talking about the Charlie Hebdo case, and had reportedly advised Muslim students to leave the room if they thought they might be offended.
Some Muslim parents complained to the school and at least one reportedly took to social media to call for Mr Paty's sacking. French media report that Mr Paty had received a number of unspecified threats in the days after taking the class.

Flowers were being laid at the entrance to the College du Bois d'Aulne on Saturday.
Students were said to be distraught at the brutal killing of a well-liked teacher. One father wrote on Twitter that his daughter "is in pieces, terrorised by the violence of such an act. How will I explain to her the unthinkable?"
One of Mr Paty's former students, Martial, 16, said he had loved his job: "He really wanted to teach us things - sometimes we had debates".
The French presidency said a national tribute would be held for Mr Paty, and the hashtag #JeSuisSamuel (I am Samuel) began trending on social media, echoing the #JeSuisCharlie call for solidarity after the attack on Charlie Hebdo.
