French authorities detain a man amid murder investigation after bodies found in Choisy-le-Roi raise suspicions.
French police have arrested a man for questioning following the discovery of four bodies in the Seine River, raising alarm in the Choisy-le-Roi area, a southeastern suburb of Paris. The investigation began on August 13, when a passer-by noticed the first body near a bridge, leading authorities to search the vicinity and uncover three additional bodies later that day.
Preliminary reports from the prosecutors indicate that one of the victims was strangled, while another displayed signs of violent injuries. The man currently held in custody has not been publicly identified, nor have specific allegations regarding the number of murders been disclosed.
The first recovered body was identified as a 40-year-old local resident and had been in the water for a short duration. The remaining three victims were found in a "very advanced state of decomposition," complicating the investigation.
As investigations progress, prosecutors emphasize that there is no current evidence linking the victims, suggesting that they might have been submerged at different locations upstream, subsequently carried downstream to where they were recovered. The police continue to explore various leads in an effort to unravel the circumstances surrounding this tragic incident.
