A French court has sentenced a man to six months in prison after he threatened to “cut off the head” of a teacher at his son’s school last week.

The defendant confronted his son’s teacher in the school car park in the southwestern town of Le Fauga last week, after the nine-year-old was moved to another class because of his behaviour.

He threatened to decapitate the 58-year-old teacher before entering the school, where he repeated the threats in front of the headteacher.
