The body of a 50-year-old man who “succumbed to multiple injuries” was discovered Monday evening in the Jura, in an apartment located in Poligny, said the Lons-le-Saunier prosecutor, Julie Fergane, confirming a information from the regional daily Progress. Three people, suspected of being linked to the murder, were taken into police custody. According to Progressthe victim is a former plasterer, “described as a marginal, fallen into drugs”.
Multiple facial wounds
“Multiple facial wounds were noted,” explained the prosecutor and an autopsy must be carried out this Tuesday afternoon at the Besançon Forensic Institute to determine precisely the causes of death.
The three people suspected of being linked to the death of this man were arrested on site and placed in police custody on Monday around 7:30 p.m. as part of an investigation opened for murder and entrusted to the Dole gendarmerie brigade (Jura), said the prosecutor. The investigations will have to determine the level of involvement of these three suspects, unfavorably known to the police and gendarmerie services.
