French authorities have arrested two men following the discovery of four bodies in the River Seine near Choisy-le-Roi, a suburb of Paris. The first suspect, a 24-year-old homeless man of North African descent, was placed in custody on suspicion of four murders and has been formally charged by the Créteil prosecutor's office. Investigations revealed that the victims included three men of African descent and one of North African descent, with at least two showing signs of violence. The suspect, who remained silent during his 96-hour detention, is known to police and is considered the main suspect in the case. Authorities are exploring the possibility of a serial killer motive, including potential homophobic crimes, as one victim was identified as a gay man. The second man was also placed in custody, though the relationship between the two suspects remains unclear. The investigation is ongoing, with homicide inquiries focusing on the deaths of at least two victims. The case has drawn attention to a riverside squat near the discovery site, which is central to the investigation. Prosecutors have requested the formal indictment of the primary suspect for the murders, while police continue to examine potential additional victims and motives.
