A woman’s decapitated head and other body parts were discovered Monday in a public park in Paris, according to reports.
Municipal workers made the gruesome discovery in a wooded area of the Buttes-Chaumont park, which is located in the 19th arrondissement of Paris.
According to The Telegraph, workers initially discovered a plastic bag containing the pelvic area of a woman. Upon additional search of the area, police found additional bags containing more dismembered body parts, including a woman’s head.
A forensics team was called in and investigators were combing the 62-acre park, which was closed to the public. Police, meanwhile, are investigating the footage from security cameras.

An unnamed source told French outlet Le Parisien that the victim’s body “was cut up and dressed.”
“The corpse was not in a state of putrefaction, which seems to attest to a recent death,” the source was quoted as saying.
The identity of the victim is unknown and an autopsy is pending.
The case has recalled the gruesome murder and rape of a 12-year-old girl whose body was found in a plastic box in Paris in October.
The French government said the suspect, a 24-year-old immigrant from Algeria, had been living in the country illegally for several years.
