Suspects surrender in Jewish man's death
PARIS (AP) -- Two key suspects in the brutal killing of a young Jewish man in France have turned themselves in to police, judicial officials said Tuesday.
The men, whose names were not released, were fingered by other members of a gang accused in the kidnapping, torture and killing of Ilan Halimi earlier this year. Halimi's murder revived concerns about anti-Semitism in France.
Authorities found 23-year-old Halimi naked, handcuffed and covered with burn marks near railroad tracks in the Essonne region south of Paris on Feb. 13. He died on the way to the hospital after being held captive for more than three weeks.
