A mother has been indicted and imprisoned following suspicion of poisoning her daughter in 2019, who died. The woman is described as a mythomaniac obsessed with her daughter’s health.
A chilling incident. A 49-year-old woman from Landes is suspected of poisoning her eldest daughter, who died in 2019, with overdosed drugs, reports an article from Parisian. She was indicted, like her daughter’s boyfriend’s brother, and imprisoned Thursday January 27 after two years of investigation. Justice thus suspects the forties of having administered, on November 13, 2019, a lethal dose of beta-blockers, a drug reserved for patients with heart disease, to her 18-year-old daughter.
After feeling unwell, the young woman was hospitalized in Dax, where she died six days after her admission. A toxicological expertise confirmed the cause of death: an overdose of this heart retarder. The mother is also suspected of giving “astronomical quantities of drugs” to her daughter for two years, while it “did not suffer from any pathology”, without medical advice, specifies the daily. Placed in pre-trial detention, the suspect disputes the facts, according to European 1.
“She said that her daughter had leukemia”
Mother of two daughters, Maylis Daubon is described as a mythomaniac woman obsessed with the health of her eldest daughter, according to several people who knew the family, reveals the Parisian daily. “She was telling everyone that her daughter had leukemia… As she was losing her hair, it was believable”, says a mother who knew Maylis Daubon and her daughters at the school where they were educated. “She also said that her daughter was bleeding from the eyes”, says a father. The suspect also used to lie about her life and his profession. To some people she said she went to law school, to others that she owns businesses in Norway or that she parachuted into the army.
His attitude cold and visibly “detached” during the funeral of his daughter, on November 27, 2019, also shocked those close to the family. “She was putting on a show, it was pathetic”, admits a guest to the Parisian. According to another person present at the funeral, Maylis Daubon would be “left without even taking a look at the buried coffin” and would have proposed to his daughter’s friends to go “drink a mojito”.
