Paris - Police in the eastern French city of Mulhouse have arrested a 68-year-old man suspected of killing at least 18 people, most of them homosexuals, between 1980 and 2002, French media reported Wednesday. The suspect, Nicolas Panard, allegedly committed many of the killings with a 43-year-old accomplice, who is currently serving a 20-year prison term for another murder.
Panard was known to frequent homosexual bars and clubs and had worked for a time as a female impersonator in cabarets in the region of Alsace, where most of the crimes were committed, and in Germany.
