Suspect Detained as Four Bodies Discovered in River Seine near Paris
French authorities launch a murder investigation after the discovery of four bodies in the River Seine, with one suspect currently in custody.
French law enforcement has detained a man as part of an ongoing investigation into the discovery of four deceased individuals in the River Seine, just southeast of Paris. The grim findings began on August 13, when a passer-by located the first body near a bridge in Choisy-le-Roi, a suburb to the south of the French capital. Upon further investigation, police uncovered three additional bodies in the nearby waters later that same day.
Prosecutors have revealed that one of the victims suffered from strangulation, while another displayed indications of violence. The sole identified victim thus far is a 40-year-old local resident, whose body was recently submerged. In stark contrast, the others were found in an advanced state of decomposition, complicating identification and investigation.
While the suspect is currently being interrogated in Paris, authorities have withheld personal details regarding him or the number of murders he may be implicated in. Additionally, officials have underscored that there is no current evidence linking the victims to one another. Investigators have considered the possibility that they could have been submerged in different locations upstream, ultimately swept downstream to the area beneath the Choisy bridge.
