Four people arrested for the murder of a 23-year-old woman in Toulouse, France tried to dispose of her body using a method from the TV show Breaking Bad. Eva Bourseau's body was found by investigators in a plastic container in her apartment on Monday. Her legs had been dismembered. 

According to Business Insider, a prosecutor explained on Friday that the suspects planned to use corrosive acid to dissolve the corpse. After killing Bourseau, the suspects were routinely coming back to her apartment to check on her body and clean the scene of the crime. Bourseau's body was eventually discovered after her mother tried to visit after weeks of not seeing her daughter, and called the police when no one answered the door. 

The four suspects—three men and one woman—reportedly killed Bourseau over a drug debt of 6,000 euros. All three are within the ages of 19 and 23, and all have a criminal record.
