A 36-year-old woman was taken into police custody after the death of her son. The spouse is also wanted by investigators, these sources said.
An hour after emergency services intervened, the boy in cardiorespiratory arrest died. The investigation into the murder of a minor under the age of fifteen was entrusted to the Paris minor protection brigade. Two other children, born in 2013 and 2016 and present at the home, were temporarily placed. The family had been the subject of educational monitoring, a child protection measure which can be offered to parents.
