Updated on: June 15, 2025 / 9:25 AM EDT/ CBS/AFP
A French tourist in her 60s has been arrested in Iceland suspected of murdering her daughter and husband while the three were vacationing in the country, Icelandic media reported.
The husband and daughter were found dead at an upscale hotel in Iceland's capital Reykjavik on Saturday morning, while the woman was found alive with stab injuries,Icelandic broadcaster RUV reportedlate Saturday.
The two deceased also had "injuries, including stab injuries, but there will be a further investigation that will reveal what kind of injuries are involved," Reykjavik police officer Aevar Palmi Palmason told RUV.
RUV reported that the bodies were found on the fourth floor of the Edition Hotel and the group was due to leave Saturday.
Icelandic police were unavailable to comment Sunday on the investigation, and have yet to confirm that the suspect was related to the victims.
Icelandic media have provided no details about the tourists' identities.
Police have onlyconfirmed in a statementthat the Reykjavik district court on Saturday remanded the woman in custody until June 20, "in connection with (a police) investigation into the deaths of two French tourists at a hotel in the city center."
"The woman who is detained was traveling with those who died when the case arose," the statement said.
In a previousstatement, police said two foreign tourists were found dead in the hotel at about 8:00 a.m. o'clock, and a third person, also a tourist, was also at the scene and was injured.
"Many details are unclear as the investigation is in its early stages," police said.
Murders and deadly violence are rare in Iceland, with the country regularly ranked at the top of the Global Peace Index thanks to its low crime rates, though gang crime has been on the rise in recent years.
According toStatista, Iceland has one of the lowest murder rates in Europe — only two persons were killed on the island in 2021.
In 2017, the normally peaceful Iceland was shocked when a 20-year-old woman was foundmurderedon the beach.

Tourists break crystal-covered chair at Italian museum
June 15, 2025 / 10:59 AM EDT/ CBS News
AnItalianmuseum is calling for visitors to respect the art on display after a tourist couple broke a crystal-covered chair before fleeing.
The Palazzo Maffei in Verona, Italy, releasedsecurity video footagethis week that shows a man and a woman taking pictures of each other while pretending to sit on Nicola Bolla's so-called "Van Gogh" chair. The art furniture is covered in hundreds of Swarovski crystals made from polished, machine-cut glass and is named in honor ofVincent van Gogh.
At one point, the man appears to slip and fall onto the chair, crushing it. Museum officials said the couple fled before staff members noticed what happened.
"Every museum's nightmare has come true," the museum said in a social media post sharing the footage.
Museum officials said local police have been contacted about the couple, who have not been identified, CBS News partnerBBC reported.
"Sometimes we lose our brains to take a picture, and we don't think about the consequences," museum director Vanessa Carlon told the BBC. "Of course it was an accident, but these two people left without speaking to us — that isn't an accident."
Two of the chair's legs were broken but the museum was able to restore them. The chair is back on display.
Carlotta Menegazzo, an art historian based at the Palazzo Maffei, told the BBC that while the chair looks sturdy, the frame is mostly hollow.
"On the chair was a note warning people not to touch, and of course it is placed on a pedestal, so it's quite clear it's not a real chair," she said.
According to the BBC, the incident took place in April, and the museum only released the security camera footage this week to raise awareness.
"We are sharing this episode not only for the record, but to start a real awareness campaign on the value of art and the respect it deserves," the museum said in a social media post.
The Palazzo Maffei opened in 2020 and has 650 pieces on display.

2 dead, 32 injured in bridge collapse at tourist destination in India
June 15, 2025 / 1:10 PM EDT/ AP
At least two people died and 32 others were injured after an iron bridge over a river collapsed on Sunday at a popular tourist destination in India's western Maharashtra state, the state's top elected official said.
Devendra Fadnavis, the chief minister of Maharashtra, said at least six people were hospitalized in critical condition because of their injuries. In a social mediapost, Fadnavis said he was "deeply saddened to learn about the tragic incident" and offered condolences to the families of the victims who died.
Local media reported that scores of tourists were on the bridge when it collapsed, plunging many into the swollen river. Fadnavis also acknowledged people had been swept away and said a search operation was ongoing to find them. Six people have been rescued so far, he said.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi "expressed deep grief" over the collapse in a phone conversation with Fadnavis where he pledged to provide any resources necessary to the Maharashtra state government,accordingto the chief minister's office.
The incident occurred in the Kundamala area in Pune district, which has witnessed heavy rains over the past few days, giving the river a steady flow, Press Trust of India reported.
It was not raining when the bridge collapsed in an area frequented by picnickers, the news agency reported.
Police said teams of the National Disaster Response Force and other search and recovery units have undertaken rescue operations, Press Trust said.
India's infrastructure has long been marred by safety concerns, sometimes leading to major disasters on its highways and bridges.
In 2022, a century-old cable suspension bridge collapsed into a river in the western state of Gujarat, sending hundreds plunging into the water and killing at least 132 in one of the worst accidents in the country in the past decade.
