This Monday, around 4:40 a.m., in Montreuil (Seine-Saint-Denis), a man was discovered lifeless, lying on the road.
During the day, large traces of blood still remained on the asphalt.
It was a passerby who made the macabre discovery.
The body lying on the ground was located on Bara Street, not far from the former migrant workers' hostel of the same name.
The victim, aged 44, had “numerous head wounds and a swollen face”, indicates a police source.
The firefighters were alerted, then requested the police.
