Emile Soleil and his grandfather Philippe Vedovini, 59

Émile Soleil’s bones and clothes were dumped ‘shortly before their discovery’, French investigators revealed after releasing his grandparents without charge following their arrest on suspicion of murder this week.

Philippe and Anne Vedovini, both 59, were taken into custody on suspicion of murder and concealing a body during an early morning raid of their home near Marseilles on Tuesday.

Two of their 10 children were also arrested.
