Bodies Found Floating in Seine River Near Paris Result in Arrest
In a shocking turn of events, a homeless man in his early to mid-20s has been arrested and charged with multiple counts of murder following the discovery of four bodies in the Seine River near Paris.
The Discovery and the Victims
On August 13, 2025, the bodies of four men were found in Choisy-Le-Roi, a southeastern suburb of Paris. The victims, two Algerians aged 21, one Tunisian aged 26, and a 48-year-old Frenchman, were found partially naked and two showed signs of strangulation. Among the victims, two were homeless [1][2][3][4].
The Suspect
The suspect, whose identity remains unclear, has been frequently seen in the area where the bodies were found. He was arrested shortly after the discovery and placed in pre-trial detention. He largely exercised his right to remain silent during questioning and has not explained his actions publicly [1][2][3][4].
The Investigation
Police are investigating the possibility of homophobic motivation due to the victims’ profiles and the discovery site. However, prosecutors have not formally included homophobia as an aggravating circumstance in the charges. The suspect was found in possession of documents belonging to one of the victims before his arrest, linking him to the crime. A fifth body was also found in the Seine recently, and further investigation is ongoing [2][5].
The prosecution has requested the suspect be charged formally and held in protective custody. The investigation continues, with efforts to clarify the suspect’s identity and motives as well as to determine any possible connections among the victims beyond the location and circumstances of their deaths [1][2][3][4][5].
The Aftermath
The discovery has sent shockwaves through the community, and further details about the case are being withheld due to ongoing investigations. No connection has been established between the arrested man in Paris and the bodies found in the Seine, and the connection between the victims remains unknown.
