Ex judge found dead in new twist to famous 1980s child murder case

The body of a 65-year-old retired judge - the first to investigate the still-unsolved 1984 death of a four-year-old boy that transfixed France - has been found with a plastic bag over his head.

The prosecutor of Mans, the town where Judge Jean-Michel Lambert lived, said a post-mortem would be needed to determine the judge’s "precise" cause of death.
