It is the end of a hunt that will have lasted several days. On Wednesday, a 20 -year -old man was arrested in Quimper (Finistère) and placed in police custody. He is suspected of the murder of a young woman and a baby in Charleville-Mézières (Ardennes), confirmed the Reims prosecutor, François Schneider. The man was the 22 -year -old victim’s companion, found dead alongside a 9 -month -old infant last Wednesday.
The arrest, led by the raid at daybreak at the mother of the suspect in Pluguffan, a town close to Quimper, took place on the Rogatory commission of a Reims investigating judge, according to a source close to the file.
“Murder and murder on a 15 -year -old minor”
The bodies of the young woman and the baby had been discovered in a container, on the wasteland of an old EDF site, in the center of Charleville-Mézières. The investigation, initially in the hands of the local prosecutor’s office, was entrusted on Friday at the Criminal Pole of Reims, which opened a judicial information against X for “murder and murder on a minor of 15 years”.

According to Ouest-Francethe rogatory commission would target “itinerant French citizens”, an expression designating travel. Both the Charleville-Mézières prosecutor’s office and that of Reims remained particularly discreet in this case, anxious to preserve the efficiency of investigations.
