Police investigate after woman dies in van at a La Courneuve garage
Three people are detained after the body was found Saturday night in Seine-Saint-Denis.
A woman died after her body was found in a van parked inside a garage in La Courneuve, in Seine-Saint-Denis, police and prosecutors said.
Saturday night, at around 22:00, a woman contacted police and said her husband had killed someone. Officers from the Brigade anticriminalité (BAC) went to the garage where the husband works and discovered the body of a missing woman.
The victim was in her fifties. Investigators said early elements of the case point to a dispute between the garage worker and one of his clients, who was allegedly pushed. She is said to have fallen and hit her head on a metal part, resulting in her death.
Three people, aged between 30 and 50, were taken into custody and placed under police supervision. They include the garage worker, held on suspicion of homicide, the worker’s spouse, held for complicity, and a third person reportedly present at the homicide scene.
A case has been opened for intentional homicide with aggravating circumstances and handed to the Seine-Saint-Denis police judicial unit. The investigation remains ongoing as the custody measure continues.
