MEAUX, France: French police on Tuesday arrested a 33-year-old man with a history of psychiatric illness on suspicion of murdering his wife and their four children, a prosecutor said.
The bodies were discovered on Christmas Day, the latest in a series of shocking cases around Paris in recent months where men have allegedly murdered their families.
Authorities found the bodies of the 35-year-old woman and her children -- aged nine months, four, seven and 10 years old -- at home in the town of Meaux east of Paris on Monday evening, after worried friends and family sounded the alarm, local prosecutor Jean-Baptiste Bladier said. The French man, a plumber, has been receiving treatment since 2017 for depression and psychotic behaviour, the prosecutor said. He was already held in 2019 after stabbing his partner in the shoulder blade when she was pregnant with their third child and trying to kill himself.
