'Breaking Bad'-Inspired Murder: 4 Students Arrested In France

Four students in France have been arrested and indicted in connection with the murder of a 23-year- old woman found Aug. 4 in her Toulouse apartment. The body was dismembered and decomposing in an acid filled container when police found it, according to the Washington Post.

Officials have identified the victim as Eva Bourseau, according to the Daily Mail. It's alleged that she was killed over a £4,250 drug debt before being found by her mother, according to the Telegraph.

Prosecutors believe this was all part of a murder plot inspired by the hit TV series "Breaking Bad," according to the Independent.

Two of the men in custody were indicted for murder, drug trafficking and robbery. The third man was indicted for murder by complicity, and the fourth student, a woman, was indicted for drug trafficking and is currently under judicial supervision, according to the Washington Post.

The suspects were in their late teens and early 20s.

In a statement to police, one of the suspects admitted to trying to recreate a scene from the popular television show by buying acid and a trunk to dissolve the body, according to the Telegraph.

Officials told a local French newspaper that Borseau was allegedly killed by a blow to the head, according to the Washington Post. She wasn't found until 10 days later.
