It was upon returning from work, at nightfall, that the tragedy befell the majority of the inhabitants of Taninges, stunned and speechless. The others, those who were there in the commune during the day, had already guessed that the worst had happened. Because all afternoon, they saw and heard the flashing lights, the Chamonix PGHM helicopter, the parade of fire and police trucks.
A family known to all
And, little by little, the macabre and devastating scenario took shape and spread. It was the father who discovered the children. Two boys aged 2 and 11 and a girl aged 13. It's a family from here, from the village, known to everyone. It happened in the hamlet of Suet. There were three children from two different fathers. A mother who is a teacher. What more can I say? Nothing.
Astonishment in the face of the unspeakable
Only silence is strong and powerful enough to express astonishment in the face of the unspeakable. Since Tuesday evening, a medical-psychological emergency unit has been in place at Taninges town hall. Meanwhile, on the ground, investigators are still looking for the mother, who left the scene of the tragedy, leaving a letter. A mother who, according to our information, suffered from depressive disorders.
