A macabre discovery. Three children aged 2, 11 and 13 were found dead in a house in Taninges, in Haute-Savoie, the gendarmerie announced on Tuesday. Their mother, who is depressed, is currently being sought.

They were discovered by their father who raised the alarm. Dispatched to the site around 12:30 p.m., the emergency services were only able to note the deaths, said the firefighters, confirming information from the Dauphiné Libéré. The three children had stab wounds, according to the daily The Parisian.

According to the regional daily, around sixty gendarmes and a helicopter are mobilized for the search. The Bonneville prosecutor, who visited the scene, could not immediately be reached. Taninges is a commune of 3,500 inhabitants in the Giffre valley, approximately 50 km east of Geneva.

Last week, two children aged one and four were found decapitated at their home in Sainte-Rose, Guadeloupe, and the mother, found wandering the streets of the town, was interned in a psychiatric hospital. According to the National Child Protection Observatory, 60 minors died violently within their family in 2022.
