Unfortunately, this is not the first incident of this kind in Paris. There have been two such cases in recent months where fathers committed triple homicide.

A 41-year-old man confessed to the murder of his three daughters during a custody battle with his ex-partner in November 2023. The murdered daughters were aged four to eleven years. Police found the innocent killed daughters in a home in the town of Alfortville. This town is in the south-eastern suburbs of Paris.

Furthermore, another father murdered his three daughters before committing suicide at his home in October. Both incidents occurred in a tense family setting. However, the father of the police officer, who took his own life after killing his daughters in Vemars, Val-d’Oise, has been found murdered.

However, the frequency and severity of these incidents highlight the terrible problem of the region regarding family violence and homicide killings. It serves as an upsetting reminder of the dangers that might lurk behind closed doors even in calm suburb houses.

As the Meaux investigation unfolds, the town and the nation grapple with the harsh reality of these tragedies.
