A French primary school teacher was stabbed to death in front of her pupils on the last day of term by one of their mothers, in an attack described by President Francois Hollande as an “abominable drama”.
The woman entered the school in the sleepy southwestern town of Albi with a kitchen knife and stabbed 34-year-old Fabienne Terral-Calmès in her classroom as pupils arrived at the start of the school day, officials said.
Paramedics tried to save the teacher, who is herself the mother of two small girls, but she died at the scene from a single stab wound to her side, around two hours after the assault that was witnessed by up to 14 pupils.
Her attacker fled but was arrested a short time later as she wandered along a nearby street muttering incoherently, local prosecutor Claude Derens said.
The 47-year-old woman was assessed by psychiatrists after her arrest and was found to be suffering from “severe mental problems in the form of delirious notions of persecution”, he told a press conference.

Such a tragic incident again, especially in front of young children! The woman who stabbed her had been released from a psychiatric hospital in March after she neglected her 6 year old daughter, she was also a pupil at that school.
