The son-in-law of a man killed at the end of October in Saône-et-Loire, who was found a few hours after the events in his car in the Vendée, seriously wounded in the head and a revolver in his hand, died, learned Wednesday AFP at the parquet floor of Mâcon. Wanted by the investigators, this man of about thirty years had been transported to the University Hospital of Nantes, where he lost his life a week later, according to Éric Jallet, public prosecutor in Mâcon, confirming information from the Journal de Saône-et-Loire .
He had abducted his wife and two children
An investigation was opened on October 31 after the discovery the night before in Bourbon-Lancy, Saone-et-Loire, the body of a man with traces of blows to the head and back, with a bloody hammer nearby . The same night, the son-in-law of the victim abducted his wife and their 9- and 10-year-old children under the threat of a handgun, before bringing them back to their home in Bourbon-Lancy, where he himself was no longer residing, said Éric Jallet. If the investigators had not immediately established a formal link between the two cases, the investigation continues including DNA research on the hammer to "confirm the identification of the perpetrator", has he said Wednesday.
