This Wednesday around 11 am, a charred body was found by the Marseille firefighters in the trunk of a burning vehicle, just days after the discovery of two other corpses in a burnt car near the Marseille city.

This car was set on fire in a dead end in the 16th arrondissement of Marseille with, on board, an individual whose marine firefighters found only the charred corpse, learned

from the police headquarters, confirming information from

La Provence

.

The events took place more precisely in the Estaque district.

If the operating method known as the "barbecue" may suggest a settlement of accounts, the police headquarters specifies that, for the time being, the facts are not qualified.

As a reminder, the investigators qualify as "Marseille barbecue" an operating method intended both to mark the spirits and to erase the traces of criminals.
