The search to find a mother suspected of having stabbed her three children on Tuesday in Taninges (Haute-Savoie) continues Wednesday morning, we learned from the gendarmerie.
“The research continues” to find the mother, aged 45, with around sixty members of the police involved, AFP was told. Divers from Aix-les-Bains, Valence and Evian were also sent to the site to probe the water points, it was specified.
The system is coordinated by the Bonneville research brigade and the Chambéry research section.
In Taninges itself, the police were no longer present on Wednesday morning in front of the vast chalet where the drama took place, set aside at the end of a dead end in a hamlet at the foot of the mountains, noted the AFP. The helicopter that was circling the day before to help search for the woman was not visible either.
The three children of a blended family living in Taninges, two boys aged 2 and 11 and a girl aged 13, were found dead Tuesday afternoon by their relatives, bearing stab wounds. Autopsies and additional expertise must be carried out by the Grenoble Medico-Legal Institute (IML)
A blatant investigation for “voluntary homicides” was opened, indicated the Bonneville prosecutor's office. The mother left a letter then headed for the mountains surrounding Taninges, according to Le Dauphiné Libération.
