Mother suspected of committing two heinous crimes in front of her 5-year-old son

An absolute drama. In Rivière-Pilote, Martinique, two children aged 1 and 3 died this Wednesday, December 21 in terrible circumstances. The first elements of the investigation indeed seem to indicate that the two children were killed by their own mother.

As La 1ère indicates, the bodies of the toddlers were discovered at the bottom of the pool of a hotel in the middle of the day. Victims of a cardio-respiratory arrest, the two children could not be revived by the firefighters. The police then quickly identified their mother as the main suspect in this double homicide.

The psychological profile of the mother in question

Indeed, the woman, in her thirties, is suspected of having pushed her two children into the water, directly causing drowning, reports the local media. But his eldest son, aged 5, would have witnessed this tragic scene, and then managed to escape. Supported by the emergency services, he was placed in a reception structure.

The first adds that the mother and her three children were followed by social services and that they had been staying in this hotel for a few days. The suspect was placed in police custody but many questions remain around this family drama, in particular about the psychological profile of the mother. “There is something missing somewhere. There are questions because the mother’s state of health should not have been unknown”said the mayor of Rivière-Pilote, quoted by the public channel.
