This Monday, November 11, the public prosecutor of Montargis, Jean-Cédric Gaux, announced that the vital prognosis of the young man, transported to the Orléans hospital center, is still engaged. He was apparently the owner of the house in which the tragedy occurred.

Investigations still carried out in the house

Biological analyzes also made it possible to confirm that the man found dead was indeed the father of the 19-year-old man. He was 53 years old.

“In view of the extreme seriousness of the facts”, continues the prosecutor, investigations are still being carried out by the gendarmerie in the house in the quiet subdivision of Clairière de la Mardelle, in Dampierre-en-Burly, a village where the residents met say they are surprised by such a tragedy. “Here, it’s rather quiet; we’re not used to things like this,” admits a resident.

“It seems that the young man had just arrived in the town. I don’t know at all if his dad lived there too. It’s a family that we don’t know,” testifies a Dampierroise.
