We know a little more about the triple homicide perpetrated in Amiens, in the Somme.

The victims were two sisters aged 25 and 26 and the eldest son, aged three.

Suspicions now “converge” towards her spouse, father of the child, the prosecutor announced on Saturday.

The bodies were discovered on Friday in an apartment in Amiens, which the older sister "shared with her spouse" and their child, said Alexandre de Bosschère, public prosecutor in Amiens, at a press conference.

attempted suicide

The spouse was “hospitalized following a traffic accident” on Thursday, the circumstances of which “indicate that it was probably a voluntary collision, within the framework of a suicide attempt”, continued the prosecutor.

“His vital prognosis is no longer engaged but he will not be able to be heard for several days”.

This 48-year-old man "presented, moreover, at the time of his hospitalization, traces of serious lesions which seem to indicate that he had tried to commit suicide a few hours earlier by other means", he added. .

Given these elements and his "proven presence" in the apartment, "suspicions converge on him".

“The autopsy operations began on Saturday morning” and “the analyzes of the samples taken on this occasion will follow at the beginning of the week”.

According to the first elements, the three victims "showed traces of asphyxiation" whose origin is not determined at this stage.

Traces of blows

The two women also showed signs of blows, and the youngest bore “a trace of a stab wound, non-lethal, at the level of the neck”, specified the prosecutor.

Death is at this stage "not dated" precisely but it is "prior to several hours or days" at the time of discovery.

The emergency services intervened after the report of a relative who was worried about not having heard from “for a few days”.

The suspect was known to the police and justice services for forgery, fraud or concealed work.

Nevertheless, he "has never been convicted for acts of violence", further indicated the prosecutor who specifies that he does not see "traces of complaints, ongoing investigations or reports to associations for acts of domestic violence ".
