Overview

• The Créteil prosecutor’s office said Thursday a second person is in police custody tied to the four bodies recovered from the Seine on August 13 in Choisy-le-Roi.
• A first suspect has been held since Wednesday under the 'meurtres en concours' designation, which permits up to 96 hours of questioning.
• Autopsies triggered two separate homicide investigations after the initial recoveries, with extensive medico-legal work still underway.
• One victim has been identified as a man in his forties from Val-de-Marne; Le Parisien reports he was strangled.
• Scans found violent lesions on a second body and possible violence on a third, and prosecutors have not said whether the two custodial measures relate to one or both homicide inquiries.
