Bourseau was allegedly killed in her home over a £4,250 drugs debt, the Telegraph reports.
23-yr-old student killed, dissolved in acid over drugs debt
A 23-year-old French art history student, Eva Bourseau, has been killed and partially dissolved in acid by three drug dealers killers who are also students.
Eva Bourseau was murdered by fellow French students and dissolved in acid.
The suspects, all French and aged between 19 and 23, allegedly killed Bourseau with a blow to the skull when she failed to pay the drug debt.
They then tried to dispose of her body by dissolving it in acid.
Prosecutors say they were inspired by a US TV series, Breaking Bad, in which a drug dealer uses acid to dispose of bodies.

According to the Independent, the students put her body in “a plastic trunk” and then attempted to steadily dissolve her body, returning several times to inspect the corpse.
Luck however ran out on them when Bourseau’s mother visited her flat and found the body.
A police source told the AFP that the body was in the “advanced stages of decomposition”.
The suspects have been charged with murdering Bourseau as police investigations continue.
