Two young children were found dead, decapitated, at the family home in Sainte-Rose, Guadeloupe, on the night of November 4 to 5. The father found the victims when he returned home, while the mother was arrested and hospitalized.
A father found himself faced with a terrible and macabre scene. While returning to the family home, in Sainte-Rose, Guadeloupe, the man discovered his two children dead and decapitated in the bathtub, on the night of November 4 to 5. The victims were aged 13 months and 4 years according to information from RCI Guadeloupe. The children’s mother is then absent from the home.
Alerted by the father of the family, the police intervened and began looking for the children’s mother, who was found almost an hour later wandering and singing in the street, naked, still according to RCI Guadeloupe. The woman was arrested by the gendarmes and placed in police custody before this regime was judged incompatible with the state of the mother of the family, indicated the public prosecutor of Pointe-à-Pitre, Caroline Calbo, according to proposals reported by BFMTV. The woman arrested has since been hospitalized in a psychiatric ward. The man who found the deceased children was in a state of shock and was treated by emergency services.
This macabre discovery led to the opening of an investigation into “murder by ascendancy of a minor under the age of 15” by the Pointe-à-Pitre public prosecutor’s office. The investigations were entrusted to the Pointe-à-Pitre gendarmerie research brigade. While the circumstances in which the victims and the mother were found make it necessary to study the possibility of an intra-family crime, the Pointe-à-Pitre public prosecutor’s office clarified that the couple with two children was not separated.
