French police have detained a man on suspicion of murder after the discovery of four men’s bodies in the River Seine on the outskirts of Paris, the local prosecutor’s office said on Monday.<\/p>\n
The four bodies were found on August 13 in an area that is known for gay sexual encounters in Choisy-Le-Roi, which lies in the southeastern suburbs of the French capital, the Creteil prosecutor’s office said.<\/p>\n
It said the suspect was homeless and had often been seen in the area where the bodies were discovered, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n
Two of the victims were also homeless and were Algerian and Tunisian nationals. Another was a 21-year-old Algerian who lived nearby and the fourth was a 48-year-old French man.<\/p>\n
The suspect’s lawyer Antoine Ory said that for legal reasons he could not name his client, who was arrested last week and brought before a judge on suspicion of the murders on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The public prosecutor has asked for the man to be charged and placed in protective custody, according to the prosecutor’s office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
