September 7 () –
A man with a history of psychiatric illness has killed his wife and two children, aged 5, 2 and 3, with a knife in the French town of Mormant, on the outskirts of Paris.
The incident occurred early Saturday morning at the home of the victims and the attacker. He then went out into the street and attacked several passers-by, who suffered minor injuries, according to the local newspaper ‘La Republique de Seine et Marne’.
A plainclothes policeman finally arrested him at around 6.30am and he confessed to killing his family. He was taken to a hospital to undergo psychiatric tests that could require hospitalisation and postpone his police custody and court appearance.
The man had given a false identity, but was eventually identified.
