Man held after four bodies found in River Seine near Paris

A 24-year-old Algerian man was arrested on suspicion of multiple murders after four male bodies were found in the Seine River; victims showed signs of strangulation and violent trauma.

  • On August 20, authorities detained a suspect in Paris linked to bodies found in the Seine at Choisy-le-Roi, advancing the investigation.
  • A passer-by first alerted emergency services on August 13 after spotting a floating body near the Choisy-le-Roi bridge, later identified as a 40-year-old local man from Val-de-Marne.
  • Prosecutors reported that three victims were in a very advanced state of decomposition while one relatively well-preserved body was found; one victim died by strangulation and another had violent injuries.
  • Taken to the Paris judicial police, the suspect is questioned on suspicion of "multiple murders" linked to the four bodies found in the Seine, authorities said.
  • Prosecutors cautioned that investigators have found so far no evidence linking the individuals, and forensic teams continue examinations to determine identities and dates of death near Choisy bridge.
