Police questioned a suspect after finding a decapitated woman in the south of France.

"It's a 51-year-old man who knew the victim," said prosecutor Raphaël Balland.

The body of the 77-year-old was found in her apartment in the coastal town of Agde on Wednesday evening.

The widowed teacher's son had previously reported to the police because he could not reach his mother by phone.

He had detected a shadow on the floor via the video surveillance of the house.

According to media reports, the woman's severed head was on a table next to the body.

There were no signs of burglary, the front door of the house was not locked.
