A man placed in police custody

A week after the discovery. For example, on August 13, of four bodies in the Seine in Choisy-le-Roi (Val-de-Marne), the investigation knew, Wednesday, August 20, an important advance with the placement in police custody. Meanwhile, “A man placed police custody man was placed this morning in police custody for murders in competition in the premises of the criminal brigade of the Paris judicial police”told the Monde the Créteil prosecution. For example, confirming information from Parisian.

The chief selected for his placement in police custody. Nevertheless, that of “murders in competition”, means that the suspect is suspected of having successively committed several murders in a distinct manner, without being separated by a final conviction, in which case we would speak of recidivism. Meanwhile, The maximum duration of police custody is then brought to eighty-six hours. The Prosecutor’s Office of Créteil. who specifies that he ” will not make any other comments in this file as it is “, Do not reveal for how many murders the suspect is heard.

This police custody constitutes spectacular progress in this investigation which brought together all the criteria of a criminal man placed police custody enigma. Wednesday August 13, a passerby had seen a floating body near the Choisy bridge and immediately alerted the emergency services. By inspecting the area, the police, the firefighters and the river brigade had discovered four submerged bodies.

“Very advanced state of degradation” – Man placed police custody

If the corpse seen by the passer -by was “Relatively preserved”letting consider recent immersion. the other three presented “A very advanced state of degradation”said the prosecution on Saturday in a press release. But just like the first body. one of the three most damaged corpses also had violence lesions, so that two voluntary homicide surveys had been opened and entrusted to the criminal brigade.

At this stage. nothing, except the place of the discovery of the four bodies, made it possible to establish a link between these two surveys. The corpses had been very well immersed in other places in the Seine. man placed police custody gathered at the foot of the Choisy bridge by the current, the shape of the river bed or even branches. Their discovery in a limited perimeter “Could be explained by the configuration of the river at this place”said the. prosecution on Saturday.

The identity of the first body had quickly been established. which probably made it possible to accelerate the investigation: he is a man in his forties and domiciled in Val-de-Marne. Regarding the other three bodies. three adult men, many examinations, notably medico-legal, were underway in recent days to try to establish, in addition to their identity, the circumstances and dates of their death.

The placement in police custody of a suspect for “murders in competition” now opens up the possibility. that these two criminal investigations are ultimately linked.
