Police in Northern France have apprehended a man accused of killing five people at and near a migrant camp. Two security guards and two migrants were found dead in Loon-Plage, close to Dunkirk. Another victim was discovered in Wormhout, south of the camp. The suspect reportedly turned himself in at a police station in Ghyvelde, east of Dunkirk. A source involved in the investigation stated that the man confessed to the murders. Authorities in Northern France have initiated an inquiry.

Le Parisien reported that the killings may be linked to a business dispute involving the victim in Wormhout, identified as a 29-year-old company director.

The migrant camp near Dunkirk is primarily occupied by Kurdish and Afghan families, according to refugee organization Care4Calis. For years, it has been a place where many refugees - often living in dire conditions - stay in tents. Many aim to cross the English Channel to reach England.
