French students who tried to dissolve body of murder victim inspired by "Breaking Bad"

23-year -old Eva Bourseau murdered for drug related debt

23-year-old Eva Bourseau was killed by three French students in a plot reportedly inspired by the TV series “Breaking Bad”, over an alleged $6,600 drug debt. The students tried to dissolve her body in chemicals in order to erase evidence and her body was found inside a plastic container filled with acid in her Toulouse apartment last month
Prosecution sources told The Telegraph that one student admitted to police that they had tried to mimic a scene from the show in which a chemistry teacher and one of his former students use acid to dispose of the body of a murdered rival.
When Bourseau could not pay up her debt, two of the students allegedly went to her home and attacked her with a crowbar and brass knuckles, battering her to death.  The students, who were not identified, bought “acid and a plastic trunk to immerse the body and dissolve it,” a source said. They reportedly visited the apartment several times over the next few days to check on the condition of the body, using air fresheners to cover up its smell, prosecution sources said.

The woman's body was in the "advanced stages of decomposition", a police source said.
The body had been in the flat for approximately 10 days, they added, and was discovered when Bourseau’s mother visited the apartment days later after her daughter was not returning her calls.
The prosecutor confirmed that Eva Bourseau died of a fractured skull and his body showed other fractures, including to the nose.
Described as “brilliant students”, the three young men had become involved in drugs and started dealing amphetamines to other students, according to their lawyers.

Two of the suspects have been placed under formal investigation, equivalent in France to being charged with murder, and the third has been charged as an accomplice, The Telegraph reports.
