The MRE will be arrested, placed in police custody, prosecuted for “abandonment of minors” and incarcerated in September 2017. His indictment will be transformed into “aggravated intentional homicide” in January 2018. The investigators had just discovered a “brownish” stain at Nérac’s home.

She has said from the start that she did not kill her daughters and that they are safe,” says her lawyer Sophie Grolleau. She added: “She is deliberately covering her tracks, she wants to protect them from French institutions in whom she has completely lost confidence.”
