POLICE believe they have found the body of a four-year-old French girl allegedly stuffed in a suitcase and thrown in a river by her Israeli grandfather.

Police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld said divers had found a suitcase and discovered bones inside.
He said the remains were being taken to a lab for identification.

Mr Ron and Ms Renaud are lovers.
