Three shot dead on French island

Three people have been found shot dead in a car on the French Mediterranean island of Corsica.

The bodies were discovered in a village near the town of Corte in the north of the island, which has suffered three decades of violence by separatists opposed to French rule.

A dozen men have been shot dead in Corsica since the start of the year.
