The German child murderer Martin Ney has apparently been transferred to a prison in France.

The French media report.

The so-called masked man killed three boys and abused 40 children between 1992 and 2001.

In 2012 he was sentenced to life imprisonment.

The Stade Regional Court had determined the particular gravity of the guilt at that time.

In prison, Ney is said to have told a fellow inmate that he murdered another boy.

It is said to be Jonathan Coulum.

The then 11-year-old was kidnapped in 2004 from a school camp in France, as reported by the French newspaper "Ouest France".

An international arrest warrant had been issued against Ney.

Ney is said to have been delivered to France on Friday.

For more than 15 years, the police in France had been looking for the murderer of Coulom, whose body was only found a month after his disappearance.

According to "Oest France", Ney had given the inmate details that only the investigators could have known.

Ney is due to be indicted in France next week.
