PONT-DE-BUIS-LHS-QUIMERCH, France, March 8, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 08th Mar, 2017 ) : Investigators on Wednesday found body parts at the home in northwest France of the man who has confessed to killing four relatives with a crowbar, the prosecutor in the case said.
Hubert Caouissin was let out of custody to accompany the investigators to his farm in a remote part of Brittany and is cooperating in the gruesome search, Nantes prosecutor Pierre Sennes said in an email.
Caouissin, 46, had told investigators that he cut up the bodies of his brother-in-law and his family at his farm in the hamlet of Logonna-Quimerc'h. He said he burned some of the body parts and buried others after killing Pascal Troadec and his wife Brigitte, both 49, and their two children, Charlotte, 18, and Sebastien, 21, in a rage over an inheritance dispute.
Caouissin's partner, 47-year-old Lydie Troadec -- Brigitte's sister, who has been charged with helping dispose of the bodies -- remained in custody and did not take part in the hunt, a source close to the probe said.
Both were charged Monday and remanded in custody in Nantes, some 300 kilometres (180 miles) to the southeast of where the murder took place. Wearing white forensic suits under a light drizzle, hundreds of police and investigators fanned out in the woods and fields around Caoussin's farm and on the muddy banks of the Auln river that forms one boundary of the property.
