for showing caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad in class had contacted a school parent who prosecutors said used social media to whip up a hateful campaign against the victim, a police source said.

The parent is one of 16 people now held in custody over the blood-curdling killing of 47-year-old history teacher Samuel Paty. It horrified a country whose deep-rooted democratic values, the government says, are under attack from within. Castex told lawmakers France was in need of a law against endangering the lives of others via social media networks.

Prosecutors said the attacker had approached pupils outside the College du Bois d’Aulne and asked them to identify Paty as he left for home. French media reported that four of those being questioned were students who accepted cash from the killer. It was not clear if they knew of his macabre motive.In Conflans, hundreds of citizens walked through the streets as night fell in a silent tribute to Paty."Thanks, Mr Paty, rest in peace," read a banner carried by two schoolgirls.
