In the famous Buttes Chaumont park in Paris, the solitary and peaceful paths are less crowded than usual due to the macabre discovery made by the police. In recent days, the dismembered remains of a woman were found: the torso was discovered on Monday by park workers who were clearing through the bushes, and the head and other parts were found on Tuesday by police near some nearby tracks. The victim, a 46-year-old woman whose disappearance had been reported missing by her husband a few days earlier, had remained unknown until Wednesday, when police were able to identify her.
Park maintenance workers found a suspiciously well-packed garbage bag and, upon opening it, discovered the woman’s torso. They immediately called the police, who rushed to close the park and begin investigating the case.
The head of the 19th arrondissement, François Dagnaud, has confirmed that the park will remain on high alert while authorities investigate the incident. The incident has shocked the Parisian population, which is concerned about the growing wave of violence and crime in the city.
Police have been cautious not to release the exact identity of the victim until the situation is clarified, but it is known that she is a 46-year-old woman and that her husband had reported her missing. This case is the latest in a string of recent crimes that have jolted the city, such as the death of the girl Lola, whose body was discovered in a suitcase and has sparked growing concern among citizens and the French government.
