The mutilated body of a 40-year-old dock worker was found this Friday, June 12, in a parking lot located near a school in Montivilliers, north of Le Havre, according to information from Paris Normandie . Initial findings indicate that the victim was tortured. She has in particular "a punctured eye, a torn nipple and had a rag, soaked in gasoline or in inflammable product, pressed in the mouth" declares a source close to the investigation to our colleagues.

The discovery of the body was made in the early morning by a municipal agent who worked in the school establishment. A security perimeter was quickly set up and the victim was able to be identified. He is a dock worker, also a staff representative. This father was known to justice. He was indicted in a narcotics case after the seizure of more than a ton of cocaine in the port of Le Havre, explains another source in Paris Normandy . But at this stage of the investigation, he was still presumed innocent.

Kidnapped at night

The dock worker was apparently kidnapped during the night of Thursday 11 to Friday 12 June while he was in his village between Saint-Romain de Colbosc and Gruchet-le-Valasse. The police, who had deployed a device to find him, were alerted by the victim's wife. Given the proximity of the crime scene to the school, the municipality asked the students to stay at home.
