Family quadruple homicide in Gy, France

Overview

In the village of Gy, Haute-Saône, a 42-year-old man killed his two sons, aged 6 and 10, and his 74-year-old mother-in-law before committing suicide. The perpetrator, who was in the process of separating from his wife, reportedly filmed the crime and sent the footage to her with the message: ‘This is what you deserve’.

Initial reports indicated the victims were shot with a hunting rifle. Subsequent autopsy results revealed that the two children died from single gunshot wounds to the back of the torso, likely at close range. The father died from a gunshot wound to the chin. The grandmother died from major hemorrhaging caused by three knife wounds to the thorax and abdomen, which prosecutor Arnaud Grécourt described as being inflicted with “great violence”. The autopsy also noted signs of manual strangulation on her neck.

Local authorities have opened an investigation into voluntary homicide. Funeral services for the children are scheduled at the Saint-Symphorien church, and the local municipality is planning a white march to honor the victims.
