“We didn’t hear anything last night. I thought it was protected but I didn’t hear an alarm. I know the caretaker well, and for some time he was afraid of being robbed,” a neighbor told Actu.fr.
The house, bought in 1986 and now owned by their children, has a plot of 5.5 hectares and is 1300 square meters, specify Paris Normandy and Actu.fr.
