The gendarmerie made the findings, supported by a cell of criminal identification technicians and a veterinarian.
According to the prosecution to an AFP correspondent, “
it is premature to conclude that this is a human intervention.
We cannot yet link this discovery with other investigations in France
”on mutilations of horses.
This is the first discovery in Corrèze of a case that could be related to the macabre series.
Since August, acts of mutilation mainly of horses have been reported all over the territory.
About 200 investigations have been opened but only about thirty cases are considered of human nature, according to the gendarmerie.
