What happened this Monday evening in this apartment on rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs in Paris (VIe)?
This will be the subject of the investigation which was entrusted to the judicial police after the terrible fire which killed two people.
It is around 12:30 a.m. when residents call the fire department.
A fire broke out in an apartment on the first floor of this building.
Significant resources are deployed by firefighters.
They managed to contain the fire, which therefore did not spread to neighboring homes.
But when the rescuers inspect the apartment, they discover two bodies.
It would be those of the two people who lived there: the mother and her son.
Given the state of the apartment, impossible for the time being to verify this infirmation.
"But we have little doubt," sighs a source close to the case.
The criminal trail is not ruled out
Two other people were taken care of by the rescuers.
These are neighbors who were slightly injured by inhaling the toxic fumes.
They were taken by firefighters to the Cochin hospital in Paris (XIVe).
Their state of health does not inspire concern.
According to the first testimonies collected by the police of Paris-center, residents report an argument which would have broken out earlier in the evening.
Wasn't it an accidental fire?
"It's possible but this argument and the fact that the son suffered from psychiatric disorders leads us to explore all avenues", confides a source familiar with the matter.
