Reported by a friend
According to the statements of a man identifying himself as a friend who reported the murder to the police, the suspect confided by telephone that he had made a “stupidity” by killing his ex-partner, a police source indicated. This man explained that the suspect would have hit this woman after an argument, then strangled her and thrown her into the Seine. Police went to the address given, a barge, and arrested the intoxicated man.
He spontaneously declared to the police that the victim, born in 1970 and described as his former partner, had not fallen into the water by accident, according to the prosecution.
An autopsy Thursday
According to this same source, the suspect, already known to the police and justice services, particularly for traffic offenses, was the tenant of part of the barge. Two teams of police and fire divers found the woman's body on the bow of the boat.
The victim's body was transported to the Garches forensic institute (Hauts-de-Seine), where an autopsy must be carried out on Thursday, the prosecutor said.
