Woman Found Murdered in Paris Home, June 28, 1879

Madame Rochelle Aiton, a 23 year old woman, was found murdered in her Paris home yesterday. Police officers found the body after numerous complaints from neighbors caused them to investigate the smell coming from the home. After entering the homestead, Madame Aitons's body was found on her bed covered in blood from where she was stabbed multiple times all over her body. Inspectors believe that Madame Rochelle had been dead for at least 4-6 days based on decomposition. There was also mention that the victim was beaten before she was stabbed to death based on the bruising upon her face and body. Madame Aiton was an aspiring artist who had survived on the savings left to her by her departed husband; Henri Aiton who passed away four years earlier due to fever. Neighbors are currently in shock that such an awful thing could happen right where they live. Currently the Police have no known suspects and are canvasing the neighborhood and city to find any information on what actually happened. Inspector Jorge Thoreau is currently in charge of the case and has asked the citizens of Paris to stand strong against such a dark act and that Parisians please come forward with any information.
