                                                     Prosecution sources told the newspaper Monday
                                                     that one student admitted to police that they had
                                                     tried to mimic a scene from the show in which a
                                                     chemistry teacher and one of his former students
                                                     use acid to dispose of the body of a murdered
                                                     rival.

                                                     The students, who were not identified, bought
                                                     “acid and a plastic trunk to immerse the body and
                                                     dissolve it,” a source said.
                                                     The plot began when two of the students allegedly
                                                     went to Bourseau’s home and attacked her with a

                                                     They reportedly visited the apartment several
                                                     times over the next few days to check on the
                                                     condition of the body, using air fresheners to
                                                     cover up its smell, prosecution sources said.
                                                     The body was discovered when Bourseau’s
                                                     mother visited the apartment days later after her
                                                     daughter was not returning her calls.

                                                     Two of the suspects have been placed under
                                                     formal investigation -- equivalent in France to
                                                     being charged with murder -- and the third has
                                                     been charged as an accomplice.
