France Serial Killers: 'Suspects Held Over Serial Murders'

Police in France have reportedly arrested two suspects in connection with four murders, which authorities fear may have been committed by a serial killer.

One suspect was said to be a 33-year-old man and described by La Monde as "very serious".

The publication said he was arrested on Saturday afternoon at Draveil in the Essonne region, south of Paris.

The second person in custody was reportedly arrested in Paris.

The four victims, killed between November 27 last year and April 5, were all shot dead with the same gun near their homes in Essonne.

In each murder the gunman reportedly fled on a motorbike - recalling the method used by Islamist extremist Mohammed Merah.

Merah was killed by officers in southern France last month after committing seven murders.

Authorities have said, however, that nothing has suggested any political or religious motives are behind the Essonne shootings. Read More
