PARIS - Seven people, including two minors, were handed over to a judge overnight as part of an ongoing investigation into last week’s murder of French teacher Samuel Paty, an official from the anti-terrorist prosecutor’s office said.

Paty was beheaded on Oct. 16 in broad daylight outside his school in a middle-class Paris suburb by an 18-year-old of Chechen origin. Police shot the attacker dead. A school parent who had posted a video accusing the teacher of using the caricatures in class was among the seven presented to the judge.

Prosecutors have said the attacker had approached pupils outside the school asked them to identify Paty as he left for home.
