In Launaguet, north of Toulouse, authorities launched an investigation following a fatal house fire and the discovery of two bodies. Initial reports indicated a 40-year-old woman was found partially burned in a garage, while a 54-year-old man was found nearby with a serious head injury and a handgun; the man later died. A second unidentified man with a gunshot wound was discovered approximately one kilometer away.

Subsequent details from the Toulouse public prosecutor clarified that the woman was shot in the head upon returning from work and her body was set on fire with a flammable product. The case is being treated as a suspected femicide followed by a suicide attempt by the spouse, who was found with serious gunshot wounds to the head. It was further revealed that the husband had a prior conviction for the 1999 murder of a former partner.
