The parents are accused of attempting to kill the woman's former partner, before a car accident that cost the lives of their 18-month-old daughter.

The father of the girl died after a road accident in Samer (Pas-de-Calais) and his wife were detained Friday after their indictment, respectively for "attempted murder" and "complicity in attempted murder ", we learned from judicial source.

Attempted murder on the woman's ex-wife

On Monday, the 34-year-old mother and her 35-year-old companion are believed to have stabbed Boulogne-sur-Mer, the woman's former spouse and lover. According to the plaintiff's version, slightly wounded in the forehead, it is the man who wanted to "take revenge", notably suspecting him to be the father of the girl.

An hour after this alleged assault, the parents and their three children had a car accident: the car, driven by the mother's non-driving license holder, hit the underpinning wall of a railway bridge around 8 pm in Samer, about twenty kilometers from Boulogne-sur-Mer. Their 18-month-old daughter was then heliported in a very serious condition at Lille University Hospital and died Thursday.

Arrested while intoxicated

The parents and their two other children, aged 3 and 4, had been admitted to the Boulogne hospital, but the couple had left the hospital hastily on the night from Monday to Tuesday. Actively sought after, they were arrested Wednesday, without rebelling, on public roads in Outreau "drunk" and were placed in custody.

The results of the blood tests carried out after the accident are not yet known, according to the parquet of Boulogne-sur-Mer. This accident is the subject of a separate investigation, conducted by the gendarmerie.
