French claim: two students who instruct the killer to the "teacher who was slain" in exchange for money

France's chief counterterrorism prosecutor, Jean-Francois Ricard, said two teenage students at the French school that saw a teacher beheaded by a terror suspect last Friday are among seven people the prosecution says is seeking to press charges.

Ricard added, at a press conference, that investigations showed that the two helped direct the attacker to teacher Samuel Patti, in exchange for money.

Police shot dead the 18-year-old attacker shortly after the attack.

Ricard said he was also seeking to press charges against the father of another student over video messages incriminating Patty and calling for his dismissal, which reportedly inspired the attacker.
