Four Bodies Discovered in River Seine, Suspect Arrested in Murder Investigation
A man is in custody after authorities found four bodies in the Seine, raising alarms in Paris.
French police have arrested a man on murder charges following the unsettling discovery of four bodies in the River Seine near Paris. The investigation began on August 13 when a passer-by reported spotting the first body near a bridge in Choisy-le-Roi, a suburb southeast of the city. Subsequent searches by police revealed three more bodies in close proximity, with one victim showing signs of strangulation and another exhibiting severe injuries. The authorities have not yet disclosed details about the suspect or the number of murders he may be connected to. The initially recovered body was identified as a 40-year-old local man, while the others were significantly decomposed, complicating identification efforts. Prosecutors have indicated that there is currently no evidence linking the victims, suggesting they may have been submerged separately before being carried downriver.
