An investigation opened for murder after a macabre discovery in Loire-Atlantique. Tuesday morning, a resident of Sainte-Pazanne, west of Nantes, was arrested by traces of blood in front of her neighbor's house.

When they arrived, firefighters and police discovered the body of a 35-year-old man. “This is a fairly violent murder,” a source close to the investigation told Le Figaro. An autopsy took place Wednesday on the victim who lived at the crime scene.
