The victim’s lifeless body was discovered around 9:00 am Monday by employees of the Domaine de la Forge, near this campsite located in the town of La Teste-de-Buch. The man had his hands tied with duct tape on the front of his body and his face bore “multiple wounds”, giving credence to the criminal trail, according to the prosecution.
