Macabre: The victim - who was French but who has
not been named - was found with his throat cut, and with multiple stab
wounds around his body in a Paris business district
He has admitted stabbing his 49-year-old victim to death, and leaving his mutilated body in an underground car park close to La Defense business district of Paris.
'He was arrested at around 4am on Sunday morning, and was covered in blood,' said a judicial source.
'His hand was bleeding but there seemed to be a lot more blood on him than was coming from the hand wound.
'After treatment in hospital, he told us that he had been drinking his victim's blood. These claims are being investigated.'
When questioned by police, the suspect was only able to speak in English, and also spoke about the Baltic state where he claims to come from.
