  • The police intervened Tuesday morning in this house, alerted by a woman worried that she would no longer have news from her relatives.
  • They discovered the lifeless bodies of a man and woman in their 50s, and their 13-year-old son.
  • The man is said to have repeatedly shot the woman and the child, before turning the gun on him.

The parquet of Dax favors “the family drama hypothesis. ”
Three bodies were found Tuesday in a house in Saint-Paul-lès-Dax (Landes) “indicated the public prosecutor Rodolphe Jarry.

In a statement released Wednesday morning, the prosecutor said that “the firefighters and the police officers of the Dax police station, alerted by a woman worried not to have news of her relatives, intervened Tuesday in the morning at within a pavilion of Saint-Paul-lès-Dax. After fracturing an entrance, they discovered the lifeless bodies of a man and a woman, partners in the framework of a PACS and both aged 50 and their son aged thirteen years. “

Couple separation context

According to the first investigations, a “scene of violence” would have erupted “between March 30 at the very end of the afternoon and March 31 in the early morning, in a context of separation of the couple, but for a reason that remains to be determined precisely. “

Armed with a hunting rifle, the man is said to have repeatedly fired at his companion and his son, both of whom were fatally injured. “The applicant then allegedly turned the gun on himself to kill himself. In all, seven cartridges were found by the investigators.

No overlooked track

If the thesis of a double assassination followed by the suicide of the perpetrator is, for the time being, privileged, “no track is nonetheless neglected, pending the imminent completion of the autopsies” insists the prosecutor.

The investigations, carried out by the Bayonne judicial police, are currently continuing, from the head of the assassinations, under the authority of the Dax prosecutor’s office.
