A murder investigation was opened after two people, a woman and a man, were found dead overnight from Friday to Saturday in a residence in Pau, the prosecution told an AFP correspondent on Saturday.
"The first investigations suggest that one killed the other before killing himself"
, explained the public prosecutor Cécile Gensac.
The body of the 34-year-old woman, believed to have been stabbed, was found inside her home while the body of the 42-year-old man was found outside the home , on the ground, below a window.
The police were warned in the middle of the night
"by third parties"
.
These two people, who are not known to justice,
"knew each other but did not live together,"
added the prosecutor.
The investigation was handed over to the federal police.
