The child had been found “
unconscious
” by the firefighters in this nursery in the 3rd arrondissement on Wednesday morning, before dying in the hospital where she had been transported.
Questioned in custody by the police, "
the only employee of the crèche present at the time of the
events " admitted "
finally, that, overwhelmed by the crying of the child, she had sprinkled him then made him ingest a caustic product
, ”says the prosecution in a press release.
His first hearings had failed to "
corroborate the accidental thesis
".
According to
Le Progrès
, the product in question is Destop, a powerful liquid unblocker.
The employee was referred Friday "
for his indictment
" for "
intentional homicide
", said the prosecution, which requested his placement in pre-trial detention.
The rest of the investigations will have to “
determine the exact circumstances
” of this drama and “
deepen the elements relating to the personality
” of the employee.
