was studying art history, was found inside a
Scene from tv show “Breaking Bad” in which the plastic container filled with acid in her Toulouse
students mimicked apartment last month, The Telegraph reports.
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
crowbar and brass knuckles after she refused to
pay the money she owed them, The Telegraph
reports.
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.
