Mother stabs teacher to death in front of pupils

This is so awful!

A school teacher was stabbed to death by a
pupil’s mother in front of a classroom full of
her horrified five and six-year-old students,
today.

The 47-year-old mother reportedly burst into
the classroom and screamed ‘I’m not a thief’
before stabbing the teacher in the abdomen.
She then attempted to escape but was caught
around 20 minutes later close to the school
grounds.

The horrific attack happened on the last day
of the school term at the Edouard Herriot
school in the town of of Albi in south west
France.

The attack took place around 9am at the
school in the Lapanouse area of the town
which has 284 pupils aged from three to 11.

The Moroccan-born woman, who holds
Spanish nationality, has a police record for
child neglect and not reporting a runaway
child, French radio reported.
She is currently in custody, where she is
likely to remain until a criminal trial
sometime next year, when she will face up to
30 years in prison if convicted of murder.

France’s Education Minister Benoit Hamon
said the whole of France was ‘deeply shocked’
by a crime which came at the end of the
school year.
