A 32-year-old woman was killed in Béziers overnight from Sunday to Monday.
It was a homeless person who used to sleep in this park who gave the alert and gave a description of the people involved in this murder.
Two of the three men quickly arrested are still being heard at the Béziers police station.
The prosecution ordered the extension of their police custody, the time to allow investigators to continue their investigations as part of the flagrance procedure.
The third was released.
“Thanks to the investigations carried out (…) throughout the day, the first of the three men placed in police custody could be exonerated”, evokes the public prosecutor of Béziers, Raphaël Balland.
The victim was not raped
“The autopsy performed in the afternoon of May 16 by forensic doctors from the Montpellier forensic institute concludes with a suspicion of death by asphyxiation, continues the prosecutor.
The victim also presents several traces of significant violence, the nature and location of which will not be communicated to preserve the investigations.
