The bodies of a 46-year-old man and his 16-year-old stepdaughter were discovered by police on Friday in an apartment north of Toulouse, according to judicial and police sources. “The father-in-law allegedly stabbed his daughter-in-law before killing himself,” said a source from the Toulouse public prosecutor’s office, evoking a possible context of a couple in the process of “separating”.
The young girl’s mother and brother, present at the time of the incident, were evacuated in a state of shock and have not yet been heard by investigators. Judicial police officers went to the site early in the afternoon to carry out the findings, according to the same source.
