A student in Toulouse killed in horrific murder

Four people who planned to dissolve a French woman's body in acid were inspired by hit US TV show Breaking Bad, a prosecutor revealed on Friday.
    The dismembered body of 23-year-old Eva Bourseau was found on Monday in a plastic container inside her Toulouse flat.
     
    Her legs had reportedly been cut off in order to fit her body inside the container.
     
    The woman's body was in the "advanced stages of decomposition", a police source told the AFP news agency at the time, adding that it had likely been there for around ten days. 
     
    A woman and three men, all between the ages of 19 and 23 and all with a criminal record, have since been arrested in connection with the murder, and by Friday a prosecutor revealed some of the grisly details.
     
    Two men in the group went to the woman's house to settle a €6,000 drug debt. There, they beat her violently, killing her through a blow to the skull. The prosecutor said they later bought acid in order to dissolve her body.
