Man, 24, arrested for multiple murders after 4 bodies pulled from Seine in Paris… as ID of 3 victims remains mystery
PARIS 'MURDERS' Man, 24, arrested for multiple murders after 4 bodies pulled from Seine in Paris… as ID of 3 victims remains mystery A SUSPECT has been arrested in connection with four bodies which were found mysteriously floating in the River Seine in Paris last week. It comes after a horrified train passenger spotted a corpse in the water before police rushed to the scene and found another three bodies. 2 The area in Choisy-le-Roi on the outskirts of Paris where police pulled out four bodies on August 13 2 A suspect has been arrested after four bodies were found by cops in the River Seine (stock) Credit: AFP A 24-year-old Algerian man has now been taken into custody and accused of committing several murders. The bodies were found in the French capital on August 13 in Choisy-le-Roi. One of the victims died from strangulation while another had suffered "violent injuries", the local prosecutor said on Saturday. It is currently unclear how many of the four victims the man is accused of killing. The first body which was reportedly submerged for a shorter time than the others was identified as a man aged around 40 who lived in the local area. His corpse showed signs of "violent injuries", before another investigation was opened into a second body. The suspect is now set to face questioning during his arrest over the four dead bodies. He was taken in custody on Wednesday morning, Le Parisien reported. Cops were joined by river brigade authorities who scrambled to bring the bodies out of the water last week. A source close to the investigation told Actu17: "There are three men of African descent and a fourth of North African descent." The witness reportedly sounded the alarm after making the gruesome discovery at around 1pm last Wednesday. More to follow...
