Suicide in Haute-Savoie?
A man, suspected of having killed the three people, having a family link with the mother and the child found in the house but also a professional link with the first victim, found in a parking lot, was wanted by the gendarmes.
According to the Dauphiné Libéré, his vehicle was found in Haute-Savoie where his phone was blocked. The individual would have committed suicide by throwing himself from a viaduct, at the level of the Caille bridge in Cruseilles, between Annecy and Geneva.
