Family drama in Antibes: a 17-year-old teenager killed

New family drama on the Côte d’Azur. A 17-year-old young man died in an apartment on Boulevard du Cap in Antibes on the night of August 18 to August 19. When emergency services arrived, he had a serious injury to his throat, we learned from a police source, and appeared to be in an apparent state of death before emergency services confirmed his death on site.

According to information from the daily Le Parisien, the alleged perpetrator of the stabbings is the mother of the deceased, a 43-year-old woman, hospitalized after being found immersed in the sea, not far from the scene of the tragedy. A suicide note as well as a weapon were found at the family home, according to Le Parisien.

It was the father of the victim who first alerted the emergency services when he found his son unconscious while the mother, suspected of the facts, fled before being arrested in what appears to be an attempted drowning at Salis beach, in Antibes, then taken to hospital. She also allegedly tried to attack her husband with a knife, reports BFM Nice Côte d'Azur. “According to the first elements of the investigation, the couple was in the process of separating and a letter written in Polish was also discovered,” specifies AFP. The father would have been placed in police custody as well as the mother suspected of the acts.
