It is in the immediate vicinity of this underground garbage dumpster that a police dog had discovered, Monday, the victim's handbag.

Investigators are therefore wondering if a suspect may have attempted to conceal evidence in this container.

The elements found inside were to be sent this Wednesday morning to experts from the Criminal Research Institute of the National Gendarmerie (IRCGN) in Pontoise (Val-d'Oise).

Scientists have already received a dozen seals on Tuesday morning, including Victorine's bag and shoes.
