It was Valentin, the fifteen-year-old son, who killed his parents early last week and tried to destroy the evidence of his crime by setting fire to the family home: the boy confessed today and the Montpellier public prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation in his regard. The bodies of the two were found last Monday after the fire in their house at dawn in Châteauvilain in the Isère department, a village of 800 inhabitants between Lyon and Grenoble. The fifteen-year-old, who has been wanted since then, was only found on Saturday in Montpellier and taken into custody for double murder and arson.
The hints
Prosecutor Éric Vaillant confirmed that the couple’s son admitted killing his parents. He is the youngest of a family of four that neighbors recently described as “normal” and very well integrated into the village. The brother and two stepsisters are safe. Valentin disappeared after the fire, in which the bodies were found “almost completely charred,” leaving doubts about their identification. They had “gunshot wounds to the head and chest,” the coroner said. The car in which the 58-year-old father, an engineer, drove to work was found abandoned in a nearby region. The mother worked at home and the older brother, 17, had not been home since the day before the fire.
