Three people died on Sunday April 7 in Paris, in a fire in a studio located on rue de Charonne, in the 11th arrondissement of the capital.
Perimeter still cordoned off, windows blown out and seals placed on the door of an apartment. Did the fire that occurred on Sunday April 7 on rue de Charonne in Paris and its three victims actually hide a crime? At the start of the evening, on the seventh floor of a Parisian building, an explosion rang out in the apartment. Inside the 20 m² studio, investigators discovered two bodies, each with a head wound corresponding to a bullet hole. A few minutes later, the lifeless body of a third victim was found on the ground with four cell phones. It could be the tenant of the apartment.
A reclassified investigation
Despite a deteriorated crime scene, investigators try to exploit the slightest clue. Criminal brigade investigators are now favoring the hypothesis of a double homicide. Initially entrusted to investigators from the 2nd judicial police district, the criminal investigation opened Monday for “destruction by fire or dangerous means” And “manslaughter” was reclassified.
