Gang link to French rail death

POLICE IN France are looking to trace a gang of "young delinquents" who regularly travel on overnight trains such as the one from which a British student is thought to have fallen, or been pushed, to her death.

Investigators in Chateauroux are trying to establish how Isabel Peake died and want to find the youths, as well as other passengers who have not yet come forward.

The 20-year-old's battered and partially clothed body was found by the main Limoges-Paris railway line at the village Chabenet, near Limoges, on 13 October

She had been travelling to her home in Staffordshire to see her parents just two weeks into an exchange programme.
