Tributes at scene of Friday's attack near Paris

Mourners laid flowers on Saturday at College du Bois d'Aulne, the French school where a history teacher who was decapitated a day earlier, worked.

Police officers could be seen guarding the entrance to the school in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, a Paris suburb.

The suspect who shot dead by police after the gruesome beheading, was an 18-year-old Chechen, police said on Saturday.

France’s anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office said that authorities investigating the horrific killing of the man have also arrested nine suspects, including the grandparents, parents and 17-year-old brother of the attacker.

The teacher had discussed caricatures of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad with his class, authorities said.
