According to prosecutors and a police source, a guy confessed to killing his three children and handed himself in on Sunday in France.
“A man presented himself to police in Dieppe (Seine-Maritime) to report that he had killed his three children,” the public prosecutor stated, referring to the town in Normandy’s northern region.
The bodies of two children were later discovered in the town of Alfortville, in Paris’s southeastern suburbs, where the father lived.
“Two deaths have been confirmed,” said the public prosecutor.
The children were stabbed to death, said a police source, without providing other details on the children or any information about the third child.
The father, who was born in 1982, had been convicted of domestic violence in 2021, said a source close to the case.
A restraining order against him was issued but subsequently lifted.
The man was taken into police custody, the prosecutors said.
