In the apartment on Boulevard de l'Etna in Agde (Hérault), it is astonishment for the children of Jean-Michel M., arrested Thursday, October 14 and placed in police custody in the investigation into the murder of Evelyne, 77, a retired teacher found stabbed and beheaded Wednesday in her home.
It is here that the two children of the former boxer live with their mother, separated from her husband.
“I don't know which box I should put myself in, how to react.
Whether He's innocent or guilty.
It is not a gesture which resembles him.
Admittedly, he was a boxer and, in the discussions, he could go up in the towers, but from there to raise his hand, there was a big margin ”, wonders his son, solid guy of 21 years.

“Evelyne, you could say she was an old friend of the family.
My mom was a housekeeper for them, and they really became friends.
We used to eat at their place, at the villa near the Hérault river or at the Cap d'Agde Marina, he says.
Evelyne and my mother talked a lot together.
They exchanged, made confidences.
It was kind of their moment.
"
“He was very calm, he tinkered with it.
Nothing allowed to consider all that "
“And then, Evelyne lost her husband, it was two years ago.
She then went into a great depression and then, after a year, she cut ties with a lot of people.
She cut ties with us, ”continues the young man, his gaze lost.
He was informed of the news of the homicide on Thursday, before figuring out who the victim was, and then discovering in the evening that his father was a suspect in the investigation.
“I learned that my father was implicated Thursday evening, when the police came to break down my door.
It was I who drove them to his home in Agde.
I haven't heard from him since.
"
“The last time I saw him was Sunday afternoon.
We talked a little bit.
It was going well.
He was very calm, he tinkered with it.
There was nothing to contemplate all of this.
My dad doesn't necessarily need the money.
If it was he who did that, then it is for the moment a murder without motive ”, he adds again.
"For me, for my mother, for my sister, for the three of us, in fact, it's a big shock," he concludes.
We don't understand why he did that.
