Four people arrested on charges of killing a young woman in Toulouse, France, were inspired by the hit American television show "Breaking Bad," a prosecutor on the case said Friday, reports the International Business Times.
The suspects planned to use corrosive acid to dissolve the dismembered corpse of their victim, as main characters Walter White and Jesse Pinkman did with one of their victims in the show.
The body of 23-year-old Eva Bourseau was found by authorities dismembered inside a suitcase in her apartment Monday night. The victim's mother had not seen Bourseau for weeks when firefighters made the discovery after entering her apartment via a skylight.
Bourseau was killed by three men and one woman, all aged 19 to 22, after failing to pay a 6,000- euro drug debt, authorities say. Bourseau was a student who had recently dropped out of school after getting involved in drugs, Radio France reported.
The murder is not the first homicide inspired by "Breaking Bad."
