A father in France was left devastated when he returned home to find his three children dead, victims of a brutal stabbing.
The shocking discovery unfolded on Tuesday around noon in Taninges, a picturesque ski town near the Swiss border.
The children, two boys aged two and 11, and a 13-year-old girl, were found with multiple stab wounds in their home.
The father, who has yet to be publicly identified, was forced to confront the grim scene that left the small community in disbelief.
The Mother Under Suspicion
The mother, a 45-year-old woman who reportedly struggled with depression, has gone missing and is now considered the prime suspect in this tragic case.
Authorities are treating the deaths as an “intentional homicide,” though no formal charges have been laid yet.
Local reports suggest that the woman, who is the biological mother of the 11-year-old boy and the 13-year-old girl, left a letter behind before disappearing into the nearby mountains.
The contents of the letter remain unclear. The father, on the other hand, is the biological parent of the youngest child.
Search Efforts and Investigation
The search for the mother has intensified, with more than 60 French police officers involved in the hunt.
They are being assisted by helicopters and dive teams as they scour the rugged terrain.
Police have also begun interviewing relatives of the family in an effort to uncover any leads.
The investigation is being led by the Bonneville public prosecutor’s office, as authorities continue to piece together what happened in the days leading up to the brutal killings.
Another Devastating Case in the Same Region
This heartbreaking event comes just days after another horrific incident in the French island of Guadeloupe.
There, two young children, a four-year-old and a 13-month-old, were found decapitated in a bathtub by their father.
The children’s mother, believed to be in her forties, was later found wandering the streets, disoriented and incoherent.
The woman was taken into custody, but due to her mental state, she was released and subsequently hospitalized. Local authorities continue to investigate this case as well.
What’s Next for the Investigation?
With two shocking family tragedies unfolding in quick succession, questions remain about what may have driven these mothers to commit such horrific acts.
As investigators continue their search and interviews, the community is left grappling with the grief of these devastating losses.
