An autopsy scheduled for Friday should make it possible to confirm that it is “a 65-year-old resident of Saint-Galmier (Loire) who has been missing since February 14” The disappearance, reported by his family, gave rise to the opening, on February 27, of a judicial investigation for arrest, kidnapping and sequestration. The investigation, now open for assassination, has been taken over by the research section of the Lyon gendarmerie.
The decomposing body was found Wednesday afternoon by residents of a building in the Saint-Etienne district of Terrenoire.
