Policemen, supported by crime scene technicians, carried out a thorough observation of the bodies of the two children aged 9 and 13 years, bearing traces of injection of a suspecious substance inside their hotel room, said a National Police (DGSN) statement.
The statement further specified that the French suspect, a 72-year-old retired nurse, was found unconscious in the proximity of the two children’s bodies.
According to the initial findings and examinations, the children’s bodies do not show any signs of violence or resistance, except for the injection trace, said the statement, adding that the father, who did not show any signs of violence either, was taken to hospital and placed in ICU.
The technical sweep carried out in the hotel room lead to the discovery of a handwritten paper explaining the family motives behind the suicide attempt, continues the DGSN statement.
This document is currently undergoing a graphological analysis, the same source revealed, indicating that syringes were also found and sent to the laboratory of the scientific police to determine their nature and connection with the crime.
The judicial police heard the ex-wife of the accused, said the statement. The remains of the two minors have been deposited at the hospital for autopsy to determine the causes of death and reveal the nature of the substances injected.
