What happened in Châtonnay in Isère? An investigation is underway as two bodies with bullet holes were found in a lodge.
Sunday afternoon, “two people were found dead in Châtonnay”, explained the prosecutor of the Republic of Vienna Audrey Quey, confirming information from the regional daily The Dauphine Libere. Two bodies were lying on the ground in a lodge in this town of 2,100 inhabitants, according to a source from the gendarmerie.
The owners of the cottage “are very shocked”
The bodies show bullet holes but the causes of death will be established by an autopsy, said a source familiar with the matter. Thirty gendarmes are on site to secure the scene, said the gendarmerie.
The mayor of the town Jean-Michel Nogueras mentioned nationals probably of Turkish nationality. The city councilor, on the other hand, was not able to specify whether the victims were holidaymakers: “the owners of the gîte were not on site, they are very shocked”, he explained. An investigation for “voluntary homicide” was opened, entrusted to the research brigade of Vienna with the support of the research section of Grenoble.
