Overview

• The suspect was placed in custody for “meurtres en concours” and is being questioned by the Paris criminal brigade.
• Two homicide investigations were already opened after forensic findings indicated violence on two bodies recovered at the site.
• One victim has been identified as a man in his forties domiciled in Val-de-Marne, while the other three are adult men whose degradation complicates identification and cause-of-death analyses.
• Medico-legal examinations and broader investigative work continue to determine identities, circumstances, and timelines for all four deaths.
• The case began when a passerby reported a floating body near the Pont de Choisy, prompting emergency crews to discover three additional submerged corpses in the same area, where the river’s slower flow could concentrate remains from upstream.
