Man jailed after threatening to behead son’s teacher in French village

The teacher was later threatened by the father, who according to the mayor had waited for her "outside the school and apparently threatened to cut off her head if she'd been a man".

A man has been given a six-month jail term in France after he threatened to behead a female primary school teacher who had disciplined his son at a village primary school.

The 47-year-old was sentenced after a fast-track hearing on Thursday, six days after the events unfolded in Le Fauga, a village with a population of about 2,600 just outside the southwestern city of Toulouse.
