It was only later that he was able to note the fourth death, that of the ex-wife of the father, and mother of the two children. “What is clear is that the couple was no longer together, so the father came to drop off the children at the bedside of the mother, who was to spend the evening with her children.“, specifies Olivier Hartiel.
