The investigators favor the family track.
The Orléans prosecutor's office announced on Monday the opening of a judicial investigation after the discovery of a five-year-old boy who was lifeless and suffering from a permanent disability on Saturday in Olivet in the Loiret.
The child's stepfather and his mother were arrested and taken into custody on Saturday in Orléans.
These two people "are presented today before the investigating judge, and are the subject of requisitions for the purposes of placement in pre-trial detention by the prosecution" according to Emmanuelle Bochenek-Puren, prosecutor of the Republic of Orléans .
"Repeated violence over time"
The little boy “suffers from serious traumatic intracranial injuries caused by a recent episode of violence.
His body also bears traces of numerous injuries and scars, as well as bone fractures, evoking repeated violence over time, caused by one or more third parties, ”the judge also indicated.
Two temporary placement orders were taken in order to entrust the legal custody of the little boy to the social assistance for children of Loiret and to ensure the protection of a four-month-old infant, child of the arrested couple and who lived at their home. .
Judicial information was opened on the counts of willful violence resulting in permanent disability committed on a 15-year-old minor by a person with authority, voluntary abstention from preventing a crime or an offense against the integrity of a 15-year-old minor and no denunciation of a crime.
