Emergency services were called for a simple trash fire under the Austerlitz bridge, and discovered the body of a man cut up in a suitcase and a bag. In the morning, a suspect went to the police station to confess to the murder.
Macabre discovery for emergency services Saturday evening. Called for a trash fire, firefighters were confronted with the trunk of a dismembered man in a suitcase around 10 p.m., under the Austerlitz bridge near the Quai de la Rapée in Paris (12th century), we learned Le Figaro this Sunday from a police source, confirming information from the site News17.
It was when the fire was brought under control by the emergency services that they saw a body missing its lower limbs. Other parts of his body were found in a bag located near the suitcase.
The victim who died three months ago?
While scientific police experts were dispatched to the crime scene to collect clues about the identity of the victim, a man presented himself at the La Défense police station early this Sunday morning. Aged 35, he claims to be the perpetrator and was taken into police custody at 8:50 a.m., we learned Le Figaro from police and judicial sources, confirming information from Europe 1. “Numerous investigations are underway and the person concerned has not yet been able to be heard”tells us the Paris prosecutor’s office.
According to our colleagues, the suspect is the victim’s carer, a disabled man, and would have ended his life three months earlier after a dispute. He would have left the body in a suitcase and in a bag under the Austerlitz bridge on Saturday evening before setting it on fire.
