A 12-year-old boy was found dead on the banks of the Vilaine in Rennes on May 24, 2026. The authorities say a towel tied tightly around his neck is involved, and an investigation for murder of a minor under 15 has been opened. The location is near central Rennes, in a green area by the water. This is the core factual outline reported by multiple outlets on May 23–25, 2026. [Source summaries indicate the event and investigation details as described by Rennes prosecutors and local media.]
