The father of two children, whose bodies were found Thursday evening in a field in Forges-les-Bains (Essonne), was referred to the public prosecutor’s office on Saturday April 13 at the end of the afternoon and placed in pre-trial detention, said namely Sunday Grégoire Dulin, the public prosecutor of the Evry court.

Furthermore, the autopsy reveals that the two children were killed by “Blows with the kitchen knife”, specified the prosecution, adding that no trace of “previous violence” was detected by the forensic doctor. After attempting suicide at the wheel of his vehicle, the father of the children was arrested and taken into custody on Friday. He then admitted to having killed his children with a kitchen knife.

During the hearing, if the man had difficulty explaining his gesture, he appeared “that the relationships within the couple were conflictual in a context of separation”, the Evry prosecutor’s office said on Friday. The mother of the two children filed a complaint against her partner on Thursday afternoon, citing acts of domestic violence committed between December 2023 and February 2, 2024.
