40% burnt, the woman was transported to the hospital and could not yet be heard by the investigators. But the Saintes prosecution would favor the thesis of infanticide for the time being.

According to France Bleu, two people saw this Wednesday morning a woman getting out, seriously injured, from a burning car in a parking lot in Saint-Jean-d'Angely. They raised the alarm and the woman was rescued. She would be in serious condition.

The gendarmerie investigators quickly went to the home of the woman in her fifties, where they discovered the body of a five and a half year old child. According to initial findings, she was smothered by her mother, but an autopsy must be performed Thursday morning to confirm this thesis. According to La Charente Libre , a "document" was found in the house, located in the center of Saint-Jean-d'Angély, "saying that she had put an end to the life of her daughter," said the prosecutor of Saints at AFP. "According to initial findings, this woman lived alone and was unknown to social services and the police," said the prosecutor.
