French police have arrested a man in the Paris area in France on Tuesday. He is suspected of having killed his four children and their mother. This is written by the AFP news agency. Found dead on Christmas Eve The five were found dead in their apartment in the town of Meaux, east of Paris, on Christmas Eve, according to French police. Worried relatives must have sent reports of concern to the police in advance, according to prosecutor Jean-Baptiste Bladier. The youngest child was nine months old. The other three were four, seven and ten years old. The mother was in her 30s. The man, who is also in his 30s, was arrested according to the police after an intense police chase near the town of Sevran. A source connected to the case tells AFP that the five were killed with what was probably a knife. More brutal child murders According to AFP, there have been several brutal child murders in the Paris region in recent months. In November, a man in his 40s admitted to having killed his three daughters. They were from four to eleven years old. They were found dead in their home by police in the town of Alfortville, which is southeast of Paris. In October, a policeman also killed his three daughters in his home in Vemars, which is north-east of Paris. The man also took his own life.
