Three Kurdish women activists have been found dead with gunshot wounds to the head in Paris, French media say, citing police sources.
According to BBC News, one of the women is said to be a co-founder of the militant Kurdish separatist movement, the PKK.
The bodies were discovered near the Kurdish Institute of Paris.
It is not clear what the motive is. Turkey has begun talks with the jailed Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan, aimed at convincing the PKK to disarm.
Some 40,000 people have died in the 25-year conflict between the Turkish state and the PKK.
"The scene [of the crime] could give rise to the idea that this was an execution, but the investigation will have to establish the exact circumstances of this incident," a police source told the AFP news agency.
