A 51-year-old man is actively sought throughout the national territory, by the gendarmerie who launched a call for witnesses this Wednesday, reports AFP.
He has disappeared since the discovery of the body of his ten-year-old daughter, found asphyxiated on May 19 at his home in Haute-Savoie.
The 50-year-old, who is already the subject of an international arrest warrant, is of "European type", measures 1.76 meters and wears "long brown hair" as well as "a long and thick slightly graying beard" , specifies the call for witnesses.
The man "would be likely to travel on board a white Citroën Jumpy registered EK-208-ZL and accompanied by an American staff dog", writes the gendarmerie.
The man could have escaped by sea
“The gendarmes of Haute-Savoie are looking for all testimonies from people allowing them to locate the individual”, who has “a very good level of sailing” and would be “likely to leave the territory by sea”, continues the gendarmerie.
“Don't intervene yourself!
“, she warns, sending a toll-free number (0800.97.10.71) to dial if the father is seen.
It was the older brother of the victim, born in 2011, who discovered the body at the family home, located in Veigy-Foncenex, according to the Annecy prosecutor's office.
The house had been partially burnt down, but the girl's autopsy later concluded that she had "obviously not died from the fire but from mechanical asphyxiation".
"Unreachable since the evening of the facts", the father was going through "a marital crisis" with the mother of the child, according to the same source.
