A 5-year-old girl was found dead with her throat slit at her home in Courbevoie (Hauts-de-Seine) on the night of Thursday to Friday, in a context of separation from her parents. An investigation has been opened.

Absolute horror. The Nanterre public prosecutor’s office opened an investigation after the discovery on the night of Thursday to Friday of a 5-year-old girl who died with her throat slit at her home in Courbevoie (Hauts-de-Seine). The father also threw himself from the 2efloor from the balcony and is hospitalized in serious condition with his life-threatening condition.

It was the neighbors who called the police after hearing screams and seeing the girl’s mother come out of her apartment, a police source said.

As for the father, he had refused to open the door to the police, and by the time they managed to force the door, he stabbed himself and jumped from the 2nd floor. Once inside, the police discovered the body of the little girl, with stab wounds to the throat. The mother, also present in the apartment, was hospitalized in a state of shock.

the father was subject to a removal order

In a context of separation between the parents, the father was notably the subject of a measure of removal and was prohibited from going to the family home and in the town of Courbevoie, still according to the same source. In addition, “multiple complaints” for non-presentation of children and for violence had already been filed by both parents.

And for good reason, the mother had filed a request with the family court of Nanterre on May 5, and the order of protection, prohibiting the man from coming into contact with his ex-partner and transferring the authority parental exclusively to the mother. This decision had precisely been pronounced on Thursday, said a judicial source.
