Investigation into Mutilated Body in Haute-Saône

A grisly discovery was made in Fédry, Haute-Saône, where a body severed at the waist was found near the Saône River. The victim was dressed only in underwear and covered with a white substance, likely quicklime, to obscure DNA evidence.

Suspect Arrested and Detained

A 39-year-old French woman was arrested on Sunday in the Swiss canton of Vaud and is now held in pretrial detention. She is the focus of a criminal investigation initiated by Swiss authorities.

Connection to Missing Person Case

The suspect lived in Sainte-Croix, close to the French border, in the apartment of a 75-year-old man who had been missing since October 31. Two days after his disappearance, the apartment was set on fire. The woman was detained shortly after by border guards.

Ongoing Investigations

Swiss investigators believe there is a link between the missing man and the body found in France. Although the victim is suspected to be the missing Swiss national, formal identification tests are still in progress.

The autopsy revealed several deep wounds to the skull, back, and torso. The victim is believed to have died from hemorrhaging caused by a chest injury before being dismembered.

Cooperation between French and Swiss Authorities

Both French and Swiss officials are working closely to clarify the timeline and determine accountability in this exceptionally violent case.

Summary: A brutal case involving a severed body found in Haute-Saône has led to a cross-border investigation, with a French woman detained and authorities from France and Switzerland cooperating to uncover the truth.
