headtopics · united states of america · western europe
A multi‑agency operation in southwest France resulted in the arrest of six men following the discovery of British pensioner John Agner's body, beaten and left in his isolated hamlet near Pau. The investigation links a high‑speed pursuit of a stolen Kia, an earlier attempted murder and a string of violent crimes carried out by the suspects, including a 32‑year‑old with 21 prior convictions. Prosecutors said the case took unexpected turns as new evidence emerged. The trial is set to start soon.
