The Paris region has recently seen a series of infanticides.
In late November, a 41-year-old man confessed to killing his three daughters, aged four to 11, and turned himself in.
Police found them dead in his home in the town of Alfortville, in the southeastern suburbs of the capital.
A month earlier, in October, a gendarme killed his three daughters before killing himself at his home in Vemars in Val-d’Oise.
