Identified by its DNA

The man in his sixties taken into police custody on Monday was reportedly identified by investigators using his DNA. He would be linked to two cases of murder of women in northern Isère.

The first is Nathalie Boyer. The 15-year-old girl was found with her throat slit in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier in 1988, 36 years ago.

The second case in which the arrested man was allegedly involved dates back 24 years. This is the murder of Laila Afifa 40-year-old woman shot and killed in La Verpillière in 2000.
