The apartment is stained with traces of blood. The common areas of the building too. A 45-year-old woman and her 2-year-old baby were stabbed Wednesday, October 2 in the morning, in La Celle-Saint-Cloud (Yvelines). The stabbing perpetrator is on the run. Police were still looking for him on Thursday. It would be the son – and big brother – of the victims, a 16-year-old teenager being treated in psychiatry for bipolarity and schizophrenia.
In circumstances which remain to be clarified, the young man, victim of a seizure, attacked his mother and his little brother in the family apartment on avenue Lucien René-Duchesne, an axis located a few hundreds of meters from the forest of Marly-le-Roi.
The baby found by a neighbor on the stairs
It was neighbors who alerted the police around 10 a.m. With her left cheek bleeding, the mother, who lives on the first floor, took refuge with a neighbor on the third. At the same time, another lady discovered the 2-year-old baby in the stairwell, between the first floor and the ground floor. He was lying on his stomach, crying. The older brother had already fled.
According to the first elements of the investigation entrusted to the territorial criminal directorate of Yvelines, the baby was in his mother’s arms when they were victims of the stabbings. But the 16-year-old then allegedly took the child with him and dropped him on the ground on the stairs.
The baby suffers from two superficial wounds caused by the stab wounds, one on the side, the other on the shoulder blade. Taken care of by firefighters, the two victims were transported to the André-Mignot hospital center in Versailles. The knife used by the teenager was no longer in the apartment when the police intervened.
