The custody of the main suspect in the quintuple homicide in Meaux (Seine-et-Marne) has been extended. The 33-year-old man suffers from psychiatric problems, a condition that has been known for a long time. Were there any flaws in its follow-up?
48 hours after the discovery of the bodies of his wife and four children, the profile of the suspect is taking shape. From the start of the investigations, the investigators understood that they were dealing with a sick, depressed person. At the time of his arrest he declared that he was suffering from illness and had attacked his family. His psychological and psychiatric disorders are not new. As early as 2017, he would have been interned after a suicide attempt according to evidence collected at the family home.
Still in custody
In 2019, he stabbed his wife, he was interned again, then released, before the proceedings were closed due to his deficient mental state. In this scenario, however, there are possibilities of monitoring and constraint to supervise sick people according to legal experts. Wednesday, December 27, the suspect is still in police custody and he began to speak about his actions to investigators.
