Father Kills Infant Daughter Before Taking His Own Life in Franconville

Police investigate the deaths of a one-year-old girl and her father, with domestic violence history emerging as a critical factor.

A 42-year-old man is suspected of fatally stabbing his one-year-old daughter before committing suicide in their Franconville home on February 28, 2025.
The mother, who was in the apartment with her 10-year-old son from a previous relationship, discovered the scene after hearing noises and calling emergency services.
The father had a documented history of domestic violence, with judicial follow-ups in 2023 and 2024 after incidents involving his wife.
The mother has been placed in police custody to rule out her involvement, although no evidence currently implicates her in the crime.
The couple, married in 2022, had been under strain, and investigators are focusing on the role of marital conflict in the tragedy.
