Eva Bourseau’s partially dissolved remains were found in a bath full of acid in Toulouse, France - after she was allegedly battered to death with a crowbar and knuckledusters.

It is believed the suspects concerned went to the frenchwoman’s home to collect a £4K debt she owed them for drugs.

But when Eva failed to produce the money, the suspects killed the art history student and placed her body in a plastic trough - covering it in acid.

One of the suspects supposedly told police they got inspiration from AMC's Breaking Bad

One of the suspects told police that they were copying the scene from US crime drama Breaking Bad - in which Walter White and his accomplice Jesse dispose of a rival in a bath full of acid.

Tragically, it was Eva’s mother who discovered her daughter’s badly decomposed body, after she hadn’t heard from her in two weeks.

The three accused are apparently ‘brilliant students’ who had become involved in drug dealing to fellow students, according to their lawyers.
