The massacre of the teacher with a machete in Prague was preceded by an apprentice’s academic failure
“The crime took place in the teacher’s office, and the suspect is a 19-year-old Czech student. The motive for his actions was to be a dispute with the teacher. At the time of his arrest, he was not a suspect under the influence of alcohol or drugs, “said police spokesman Jan Rybanský.
According to the Minister of Education Petr Gazdík (STAN), it was a conflict in favor or trial.
“Yesterday (Wednesday) the student probably had a study failure,” Gazdík told reporters. “It’s something that shouldn’t have happened,” said the visibly moved minister, who himself worked as a primary school teacher.
According to him, no one can say whether there was an attack. He also expressed his sincere condolences to all the bereaved.
The minister did not specify what the failure was.

A police spokesman told reporters that the school could reopen on Friday after the school investigation.
According to Gazdík, schools are now safe in terms of safety, and the pupil’s deadly need for a pupil is to evaluate an in-depth analysis.
“It can be the result of covid, it can be the result of many other things. Unfortunately, this case will notoriously go down in the history of Czech education, “the minister added, referring to the coronavirus epidemic, which significantly reduced the operation of Czech schools.
Police guard the place where the suspect’s personal belongings were found.
