A young couple of police officers was found dead Tuesday evening at his home in Celle-Saint-Cloud (Yvelines) in still unclear circumstances, we learned Wednesday from corroborating sources.
The Versailles prosecutor's office nevertheless indicated that it favored at this stage the thesis of “the murder of the victim and then the suicide of the author” for personal reasons.
At around 10:30 p.m., the 29-year-old woman and the 31-year-old man were found shot dead, according to a source familiar with the matter.
The circumstances are still unclear but the track of an "extramarital" relationship as the cause of death is being considered by the prosecution.
Neighborhood disturbance calls
An investigation was opened of the murder chief with the use of a firearm, he said.
Police discovered the bodies of the two officers after being called to the scene for disturbing the neighborhood, according to the source familiar with the matter.
