People living in a Carmaux suburb called their neighbour "le marseillais", but did not know that the sixty year old, a quiet man, occasionally a bit merry by the end of the day, was in fact a retired gangster, well-known in the Marseille underworld. Yves Costamagno was under discreet surveillance by police as he was suspected of being implicated in the disappearance of a former associate.
A third man was living in a caravan in the garden and discovered that his landlord had died on Wednesday and called the police. Enquiries revealed that the remains of a third man were being dissolved in a vat of acid in the yard, a man whose identity is thought to be that of the missing gangland figure. Police suspect that the killing was a matter of settling a debt as Costamagno had been using the missing man's credit card.
