Three female Kurdish activists have been found dead with gunshot wounds to the head in the Kurdish Institute of Paris.

One of the women is said to be a co-founder of the militant Kurdish separatist movement, the PKK, according to the BBC.

The bodies were found in the early hours of Thursday morning. The motive for the shootings is unclear.

Manuel Valls, the French interior minister, said the killings were "intolerable".

A criminal investigation is under way, according to police.
