The mother of a boy was taken into custody today, a day after the gruesome discovery of the body of a 10-year-old child in a suitcase in Ferrier an Brie, a quiet community tens of kilometres east of Paris.
After more than 24 hours of intensive searches, his mother was arrested about 30 kilometers from the family's home, prosecutor Lorraine Peirefitt told Agence France-Presse.
The mother suffers from psychological problems
Aged 33 and originally from Cambodia, the young woman suffers from psychological problems, according to a source close to the case. She was very lonely, according to another source.
She was taken into custody as part of an investigation into the intentional homicide of a minor under the age of 15. The hearing is expected to reveal the gruesome events that unfolded at the family's single-family home on Wednesday.
That day, around 7 p.m.00, the father of the family, worried because he found no one in the house when he returned from work, informed the authorities about the disappearance of his son and his partner.
Disturbed by the presence of bloodstains inside the house, the authorities immediately began an investigation. Firefighters, police officers, specially trained dogs took part, with the help of drones.
What the autopsy revealed
During the search, the boy's body was found "hidden inside a suitcase, dumped in a garbage can about 100 meters from the family's house," the prosecutor's office said yesterday.
A post-mortem examination concluded "the existence of several sharp-object wounds", particularly in the victim's "neck and abdominal-chest area", they explained today.
Neighbors of the family say they are stunned by this family tragedy, in their testimonies today to Agence France-Presse.
"I'm shocked and shocked, it's a very quiet neighborhood," one of them said."
