A man has been arrested on suspicious of murder after four bodies were found in the River Seine in Paris. A passer-by spotted the first body floating in the water last Wednesday near Choisy Bridge, connecting to Creteil in the southeastern suburbs. Emergency services discovered three more submerged bodies while inspecting the area.

The first remains were seen by a passer-by who described them as being “relatively well-preserved”, suggesting they had gone into the water recently. The deceased has been identified as a man in his forties who lived in Val-de-Marne, east of Paris.
