many mysteries around the defenestration of a French family

On the shores of Lake Geneva, there are many questions. In a quiet street, flowers recall the tragedy that happened here: five people who fell from the seventh floor of a building. A man, two women, an eight-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy, the sole survivor, in serious condition. At 7 am, while the police are at their door, these five members of the same family threw themselves into the void. What happened ? Did they all jump of their own free will, or did one of them rush the others before jumping himself?

A resident works in a shop, whose surveillance camera filmed part of the scene, the fall of the last two bodies. The images confirm, according to him, that the family members did not all fall at the same time. The police were involved in a procedure related to the young boy’s home schooling. The little girl was not known to the Swiss administration. Of French nationality, the family had been living here for two years. Survivalist behavior, sectarian drift, a certainty according to the police: there was no third party intervention at the time of the events.
