The body of an acclaimed French chef has been found hidden in a freezer - two years after he went missing.
Detectives discovered the frozen corpse of Jean-Francois Poinard after his girlfriend Guylene Collober, 51, told her daughter "something unfortunate" had happened to him.
The 71-year-old's body is believed to have been secreted in a freezer at their home in Lyon for up to two years.
He was found in the foetal position and covered with plastic bags.
Ms Collober is said to have made the revelation to her daughter during a night out.
Her daughter told police, who found Mr Poinard's body at the flat.
Ms Collober is said to have collapsed in tears when officers arrived, saying: "I think you'll find what you're looking for."
A police spokesman said: "An initial examination suggests the body could have been there for up to two years.
"A full post-mortem examination will be carried out to discover the precise cause of death."

I can't imagine snitching my mom out. Especially if she only killed a frenchman.

He burned dinner and she couldn't forgive him?
Whether he died of natural causes or she killed him, this broad is nuts.

Two years? Probably not edible. Too much freezer burn.
