A SUSPECT has been arrested in connection with four bodies which were found mysteriously floating in the River Seine in Paris last week.

It comes after a horrified train passenger spotted a corpse in the water before police rushed to the scene and found another three bodies.

A 24-year-old Algerian man has now been taken into custody and accused of committing several murders.

The Créteil prosecutor’s office informed Le Monde: “A man was detained earlier today on suspicion of multiple homicides at the Paris judicial police’s criminal brigade headquarters.”

The bodies were found in the French capital on August 13 in Choisy-le-Roi.

One of the victims died from strangulation while another had suffered “violent injuries”, the local prosecutor said on Saturday.

It is currently unclear how many of the four victims the man is accused of killing.

The first body which was reportedly submerged for a shorter time than the others was identified as a man aged around 40 who lived in the local area.

His corpse showed signs of “violent injuries”, before another investigation was opened into a second body.

The suspect is now set to face questioning during his arrest over the four dead bodies.

He was taken in custody on Wednesday morning, Le Parisien reported.

The arrest marks a breakthrough development in what is an incredibly mysterious ordeal.

According to the prosecutor on Saturday, while the body pointed out by a passerby was “relatively well-preserved,” the other three bodies were found in “a very advanced state of decomposition.”

One of the three unidentified bodies also showed signs of violence, just like the first body which was found.

Cops were joined by river brigade authorities who scrambled to bring the bodies out of the water last week.

A source close to the investigation told Actu17: “There are three men of African descent and a fourth of North African descent.”

The witness reportedly sounded the alarm after making the gruesome discovery at around 1pm last Wednesday.

Authorities made a series of chilling discoveries after responding to reports that one body had been spotted in the river.

It was reported that a second body was located approximately 50 meters from the first, a third caught in river branches, and a fourth drifting with the flow of the current.

Prosecutors have stressed there is so far no evidence of a link between the victims.

They could have entered the water in separate places upstream and taken by the current to the foot of the Choisy bridge.
