The mother of the three children found dead this Tuesday in Taninges, in Haute-Savoie, is still wanted. The bodies of two boys aged 2 and 11 and a girl aged 13 were discovered in a home by the father of one of the children (the youngest). The bodies “present stab wounds” indicated the Bonneville prosecutor.
“The investigation continues to determine the exact circumstances of the commission of the facts,” according to the prosecutor. Autopsies must be carried out by the Grenoble Forensic Institute. A flagrant investigation into “voluntary homicide” has been opened. A psychological unit has been set up in the village.
Around sixty gendarmes and a helicopter were mobilized to find the mother, aged 45. She is suspected of having killed her three children before fleeing.
A letter found at home
Early this Tuesday afternoon, the police were notified by the father of one of the children. Arriving on site, the police discovered the lifeless bodies of two boys, aged 2 and 11, and a girl, aged 13. The tragedy took place at the family home, in a house on the edge of the woods, above the departmental road which leads to Taninges, a mountain town of 3,500 inhabitants, about 50 km east of Geneva. .
Stab wounds are found on the children, from a blended family. Their 45-year-old mother is missing. And quickly, the investigators favored the theory of infanticide. According to Le Dauphiné Libéré, this depressed woman left a letter at her home before fleeing. A major search effort was deployed to try to find her quickly. Without success, for the moment.
