The student who stirred up hate against the murdered teacher was lying in class.

Teachers Payy beheaded after appearing to the students some cartoons of the prophet Muhammad, writes BBC.

The student who admitted to lying that she was in the classroom with her words had promoted an online hate campaign against the late teachers.

The 13-year-old girl, whose name has not been made public, had told her father that the teacher had asked Muslim students to leave the class while showing the cartoons in her class on freedom of speech and blasphemy.

She lied because she felt embarrassed when her classmates asked her to become spokeswoman”, said her lawyer, Mbeko Tabula.

This girl's father had filed a legal complaint against the teachers and started a online hate campaign about this case.

Shortly after the murder, prosecutors said there was a direct cause link between the push against his teachers and his murder.

After the assassination, France's president, Emmanuel Macron, donated the teacher's family to the highest national decoration, “The Honorary Regiment”.

The graphic appearance of the prophet Muhammad is sensitive in Islam, and Muslims are taken as insults.

Twelve people were killed by an extremist attack on the site of the magazine “Charlie Hebdo” in 2015 because of the publication of the prophet's cartoons.
