Sweden Urges Young Women Not Be Alone in Paris At Night

Are the taxi drivers in Paris the same ethnicity as they are in New York City? Even if they are not, this is a pretty gruesome story. Reuters

PARIS (Reuters) - Sweden has urged its young women not to go out alone in Paris at night after a Swedish teenager was abducted and murdered in the French capital.

The charred body of Sussanna Zetterberg, 19, was discovered on Saturday in woods outside Paris just hours after she left a nightclub in the heart of the city.

"I am in a taxi, the driver is odd," Zetterberg said in a text message to a friend. She was not heard from again.

A postmortem showed she had been stabbed, a judicial source said. French press reported she had also been shot four times and was found with her hands tied behind her back.

Prosecutors are investigating whether there are any links with a case in February when another 19-year-old Swede was raped by a man who had posed as a taxi driver.
