Teacher Samuel Paty was beheaded on Friday outside his school in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, about 40km northwest of Paris, by an 18-year-old man who was shot dead by police. Interior minister Gérald Darmanin said on Monday there were about 80 investigations under way into online hate speech in France — including those who expressed support for the attack. He said he was looking into whether certain groups from the French Muslim community should be dissolved after accusations of promoting violence and hate.

Earlier in October, Paty showed his pupils cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a class on freedom of expression, angering a number of Muslim parents. Muslims believe that any depiction of the prophet is blasphemous.
