(Breitbart) A Syrian migrant was arrested in south-west France on Thursday on suspicion of rape and murder after the body of a 24-year-old young mother was discovered on Sunday.
The body of the woman, identified as Johanna Blanes, was found in a small pedestrian tunnel near the commune of Mont-de-Marsan at around 6 am, hours after she had left a nightclub to return to where she was staying in Saint-Pierre-du-Mont, broadcaster RTL reports.
According to the broadcaster, the 24-year-old also suffered from a slight mental disability and had to be placed under guardianship. The disability also meant that she lost custody of her 19-month-old son.
Sources close to the investigation claim that Ms Blanes showed signs of strangulation and that she had been beaten in both the head and the neck.
