Samuel Paty murder: how a teenager's lie sparked a tragic chain of events

Girl, 13, admits lying about being told to leave classroom while teacher showed images of Prophet

Like many a school truant, the 13-year-old girl was keen to prevent her father from discovering she had been suspended because of repeatedly failing to turn up for lessons.

So she made up a story. The teenager said her history teacher, Samuel Paty, had instructed Muslim students to leave the classroom so he could show the rest a photograph of the Prophet naked".
