A case still mysterious. After Tuesday's discovery of a body in his fifties and bound foot and hand at his La Sentinelle home, near Valenciennes, (North), a police investigation was initiated.

The cause of death of the 50-year old man, a priori unknown to the police or the justice system, wasn't yet known on Wednesday afternoon according to this AFP source, who confirmed information from The Voice of the North. The first elements indicate that he wasn't shot. However, the autopsy was to confirm this.

According to AFP sources, "there was disorder" at his apartment. However, it is not possible to determine if objects were stolen. She added, "It's quite mysterious at the moment."

The judicial police were taken into custody.
