Teacher suspected of triple infanticide in Haute-Savoie: five listening cells open

The woman suspected of murdering her three children last Tuesday, November 12, was a locally known teacher. This is why the academic management decided to set up listening units in the five establishments attended by the mother.

Since Tuesday, November 12, the calm that has reigned in the small town of Taninges has not been peaceful. After the discovery of the lifeless bodies of three children aged 2, 11 and 13, and the death of their mother, suspected of triple infanticide, the residents are in shock.

Added to this is the total incomprehension: the 45-year-old woman was a teacher and found herself in contact, for several years, with hundreds of children in the region.

The academic management of the National Education Services of Haute-Savoie has therefore decided, reports France Bleu Pays de Savoieto open, the day after the tragedy, five listening cells in the establishments concerned.

Between 200 and 300 children passed through his classes

The mother, currently suspected of triple infanticide, was therefore particularly well known in the region.

A teacher, she took care, according to the local media, of around 70 students in CE1 class attending school in Marnaz (just next to Cluses), since the start of the school year in September. In all, over the past ten years, the forty-year-old has attended between 200 and 300 students, students who are now potentially disturbed.

The academic director Frédéric Bablon announced, at the microphone of our colleagues at France Bleu, the establishment of several listening cells: “We have set up listening cells in the three primary schools where the teacher was able to exercise (…). And then we of course put listening cells in the two colleges where the children were educated, particularly the one, of course, in Taninges But also in the college in Samoëns, since this teacher had. also had as students students who are now in sixth grade,” he explains.

“It’s about hearing, collecting everyone’s words and being able to share the emotion, since it’s a great emotion,” confides Frédéric Bablon to the local branch of France Bleu.

The academic director also made a point of specifying that the assistance thus provided in the three primary schools (Taninges, Marnaz and Samoëns) and two middle schools (Taninges and Samoëns) applied as much to the students as to the members of the teaching staff. Replacement teachers were also called in to help, to allow everyone to benefit from the cells set up.

An investigation into “intentional homicides” was opened in order to find out more about “the exact circumstances of the commission of the facts”, indicated Boris Dufau, the Bonneville prosecutor.
