a father kills his wife and daughter in their sleep

"This 65-year-old man first killed his nine-year-old daughter while sleeping in bed before shooting down the girl's mother"said Tarascon's attorney Patrick Desjardins, confirming information revealed by our colleagues from La Provence and Le Dauphine Libere."After killing his daughter and companion, he wrote a letter to recount his action and called a neighbor before committing suicide", continued Patrick Desjardins, who evokes a"family drama".
Informed, the police quickly went to the family home located in Eygalières, a tourist village of 1,800 inhabitants, located in the Alpilles, where three bodies were found lifeless. Jacky, the father, and "presumably the author of the facts","was not a priori known for acts of domestic violence or child abuse", said the magistrate, adding that the letter he had written was"in operation"by the gendarmerie search brigade of Salon-de-Provence which was seized of the investigation.

In shock, the villagers evoke a discreet man. Asked by the daily Sud Ouest, one of them confides, "It's incomprehensible, I often met this man who looked normal. Killing a child is not human. Same story on the side of the local café where the bartender ensures that "Nobody could have imagined that he would do such a thingJenny, a shop assistant in a corner grocery store, is also shocked by this news, "He called a neighbor to say that he was a lead, we are all in shock, Jacky and his wife were very discreet but everyone sees who it is in the village", assures the young woman.

This is the 117th feminicide recorded since the beginning of the year by the collective Feminicides per companion or ex. In 2018, 121 women were killed by their spouse or ex-companion, one every three days, according to the Interior Ministry.
