Her daughter was found dead on Monday.
Jérôme M., the father of Anaïs, who died at the age of 9, was indicted in Auxerre (Yonne), reports France 3. The girl had been kidnapped by her parents on February 10 when she was with a social worker.
According to Republican Yonne, he was kept in pre-trial detention.
This Monday, the little girl and her mother were found dead near Reims (Marne).
The father had been placed in police custody for the first time and then released.
He was finally arrested again for "kidnapping in an organized gang".
According to her version in police custody, quoted by France 3, the girl was killed by her mother before the latter ended her life.
But the investigators are studying all the hypotheses.
Murder then suicide?
On April 4, as the police arrived, the mother allegedly killed her daughter with a bullet in the temple before turning the gun on herself.
Jérôme M. “said he had no time to intervene, that he could never have taken action and that he had not handled the weapon used”, explained the Reims prosecutor.
He was indicted for "kidnapping in an organized gang" and "violence committed against a person in charge of a public service mission".
