Northeast of Paris, police have launched an investigation into the murder of five people after discovering their bodies, the BBC reports. The victims were a woman and her four children between the ages of nine months and ten years, the public prosecutor’s office said.
Their bodies were found late Monday evening in the town of Meaux, 40 km from the French capital. The relatives began to worry as soon as the family stopped hearing from them. The police were looking for a 33-year-old father who was “on the run”. According to local media, they arrested the suspect on Tuesday.
Prosecutor Jean-Baptiste Bladier confirmed to French media that the case was being investigated by the judicial police in Versailles. According to him, there were no signs of a break-in in the apartment and the children’s father was not present.
There have been several similar murders recently in the Paris region. At the end of November, the 41-year-old man confessed to the murder of his three daughters, ages 4, 10 and 11, and turned himself in. Police found her dead at his home in Alfortville, a southeastern suburb of the capital. A month earlier, in October, a police officer killed his three daughters and then committed suicide at his home in Vemars, Val-d’Oise.
