The victims are a couple and their child who were returning from vacation and stopping off in the department. The father succumbed to his injuries while the mother was more lightly injured. The latter in fact received a stab wound under the breast.

She was hospitalized but her vital prognosis is not in jeopardy. The son of the couple who witnessed the scene was found in a state of shock. He was taken care of by a psychologist.

"His friends told him to stop his bullshit"

Refusing to find the slightest excuse, the suspect's mother describes to our colleagues a "child who grew up without a framework and&nbsp ;who took refuge in drugs and alcohol.

"He was very well surrounded by his friends who told him to stop his bullshit, including stealing my car because he was doing rodeos and I was afraid an accident would happen, she continues. Saturday, he harassed me on the phone so that I could give him money. I refused and I was planning to kick him out of the house last night because I couldn't do it with him anymore."
