It is indeed the body of the mother, the main suspect in the triple infanticide in Taninges (Haute-Savoie). The day after the discovery of the lifeless bodies of three children, the body of a woman was found in Champéry, a Swiss commune in the canton of Valais located approximately 70 km from Taninges, in “the vehicle usually used by the mother of the three children”, according to information from Le Parisien, corroborated by Boris Duffau, the public prosecutor of Bonneville, in a press release.
This Thursday, the prosecution confirms that it is the mother of the family: “The Swiss authorities have confirmed the identity of the person found deceased, it is indeed the mother of the three children”, indicates the prosecutor Boris Duffau in a press release. He added that he did not have “the autopsy results” on the causes of the death of this 45-year-old teacher, and did not want to say more in the future.
The bodies of the children of this blended family, two boys aged 2 and 11, a girl aged 13, were discovered on Tuesday at their home in Taninges (Haute-Savoie) by the father of one of the children, who gave the alert. Dispatched to the site, emergency services could only note the deaths, the firefighters said. The autopsies of the bodies of the three children, carried out by the Grenoble Medico-Legal Institute (IML), confirmed the fatal stab wounds, the prosecutor said this Wednesday evening.
The mother of the three children, a teacher in a primary school in a nearby village, was described as depressed. According to Le Dauphiné Libération, the forty-year-old left a letter before heading towards the mountains surrounding the mountain town of 3,500 inhabitants, located around 50 km east of Geneva. A large force including around sixty gendarmes and a helicopter were mobilized for the search, said a source close to the investigation.
A blatant investigation for “intentional homicides” was opened and entrusted to the gendarmes of the Bonneville research brigade with the support of the Chambéry research section, indicated the Bonneville prosecutor, Boris Duffau, in a press release late Tuesday . “The investigation continues to determine the exact circumstances of the commission of the facts,” added the prosecutor.
