   Man held after his father and brother found with throats slit in Paris   
      
   Police in Paris have launched an investigation after two men, a father and his   
   son, were found with their throats slit in the French capital. Another son has   
   been arrested in connection with the murders.   
      
   A man was arrested in Paris on Friday suspected of slitting the throats of his   
   father and brother at the entrance to a building in the capital's trendy 11th   
   district, police sources told AFP.   
      
   The sources, who asked not to be named because they were not authorised to   
   speak publicly, said the reason for the attack was being investigated.   
      
   The two men died at the scene despite efforts by paramedics to save them.   
      
   "I came down and saw one body in the hall and another in the courtyard. There   
   was blood everywhere," one resident told Le Parisien newspaper.   
      
   Some witnesses said the suspect made remarks "linked to radical Islam" but the   
   police urged caution, saying the killer's motives were unknown.   
      
   Newspaper Le Figaro cited a police source who said the knifeman shouted   
   "Allahu Akbar" ('God is greatest', in Arabic).   
      
   The attacked happened outside a building on Rue de Montreuil in the east of   
   the French capital near Place de la Nation (see map below).   
      
   A resident of the high-rise building in the city's 11th district said he heard   
   a man "crying for help" at around 11am.   
      
   "I looked out the window and saw a man lying on the ground. There was a lot of   
   blood.   
      
   "There was another man standing beside him, dressed in a white djellaba   
   (loose-fitting tunic worn by some Muslims). He fell to his knees and prayed   
   until the police came to take him away," 21-year-old Thomas told AFP.   
      
   Another resident, 64-year-old Francois Petitjean, described a harrowing scene.   
      
   "When I arrived in the hall of the building I saw a body lying in a pool of   
   blood, in front of the postboxes. It was carnage. I went out and then saw   
   another person covered in blood," he said, expressing shock.   
      
   Police had sealed off a section of the street around the building. No further   
   details on the suspect or the victims were immediately available.   
      
   Specialist police SWAT teams were sent to the incident and a large cordon was   
   set up around the scene of the crime. As a result traffic was disrupted in the   
   neighbourhood.   
      
   Images and videos posted from the scene showed the area was calm while many   
   residents told Le Parisien newspaper they had not seen or heard anything.
