Since then, Julie Niel-Villemin, the mother of the victims, has shared several photos and texts on her Instagram account in which she addresses directly to his children.
“Today is a month since our life became a nightmare”she wrote in the commentary of a photo with her children. “A month later, my heart is broken, my insides are torn as soon as I remember your faces, the sound of your voice, your laughter that I find it increasingly difficult to transcribe myself, she details. Now falling asleep and waking up are daily struggles.” The mother of the family also confides that she and her husband are both followed by psychologists for the “accompany in this path of suffering”.

An investigation into the fire
“The accident is a highly probable hypothesishad entrusted Sandrine Ballanger, deputy prosecutor of the Eure, to France Blue. But there is no certainty, it will be necessary to carry out a much more in-depth expertise. A few weeks after the tragedy, Rémi Coutin, public prosecutor of Évreux, had an update on the investigation. According to the fire expert, a “electric arc” from the electrical panel could have caused “cable fusion” and throw sparks on the sofa located just below, he reported on January 10, quoted by the site Paris Normandy. The week before Christmas, the leads had blown several times and an electrician had intervened. The 55-year-old man was indicted on January 6 for involuntary homicides, involuntary injuries resulting in an ITT of less than or equal to three months and involuntary destruction of the property of others. He faces a three-year prison sentence and a €45,000 fine. “He appeared crestfallen. He claims to have worked in accordance with the rules of the art”commented the prosecutor.
