It is a real family drama which is at the origin of the death of a police officer, this Saturday afternoon. Olivier, Val-d'Oise police commander, was killed by his father while he was returning to his home in Vaux-sur-Seine (Yvelines).
The 48-year-old father lived in a residential area in the small town of the Seine valley, rue du Moulin-à-Vent, with his new partner, his daughter, from a previous romantic relationship, and welcomed in this moment his father. For reasons still unknown, the latter used a rifle to kill his son with two bullets in the body, before turning the weapon against him.
"My daughter-in-law saw a lady go out, trembling, with a little girl in her arms"
In the neighborhood, it's amazement. No one heard the detonation generated by the gunfire. “However, we hedged the hedges all afternoon, wonders a couple living 700 meters below the family home where the drama took place. It was when we saw police vehicles and firefighters pass by that we thought that a road accident must have taken place a little higher. "
Another neighbor, whose residence is close to the victim's home, "heard no shots". “My daughter-in-law saw a lady go out, trembling, with a little girl in her arms. The little girl said he was no longer breathing. I suppose she must have attended the scene, says this resident of the rue du Moulin à Vent. Afterwards, we saw a coming and going of police cars and three Raid trucks. "
If there was nothing to suggest such a drama in the neighborhood, "this type of family tragedy can happen anywhere, even in a peaceful neighborhood like ours", breaths a resident.
Olivier was a very calm, good-natured and much appreciated man. He had just risen in stripes by joining the Departmental Intervention Company of Val-d'Oise after having spent his entire career in this same department.
