The four victims are members of the same family: the mother was 37 years old and her three children were 13, 4 and 3 years old. Tuesday evening, the 42-year-old father was still hospitalized “with a life-threatening condition”, reports the prosecution. The last of the family, a 2-year-old baby, had been saved.
