a mother and her children discovered dead at their home in the Val-d’Oise

The bodies of a mother and her three children were discovered on Monday in a state of decomposition in their apartment in Sannois (in the Val-d’Oise), we learned from the emergency services and a police source.

The firefighters, alerted by neighbors who had not heard from the family for several weeks, intervened around 6 p.m. on the fourth floor of a small building in this city located northwest of Paris.

The hypotheses of intoxication or of an “orchestrated suicide”

Inside the apartment, they discovered four decaying bodies. This is a 44-year-old mother of Haitian origin and her three children, “two boys and a girl,” said a police source.

At this stage of the investigations, the investigators favor the track of carbon monoxide poisoning or that of an “orchestrated suicide” by the mother, who lived alone with her children from different unions, said this source. .

“It’s not villainous,” she immediately added. The departmental security of Val-d’Oise was seized of the investigation.
