murder story

In August 2002, facing overwhelming financial pressures, Emmanuel and Patricia decided to end their lives and those of their five children. After a family meal at a local restaurant, they returned home, where Patricia administered insulin injections to the children under the guise of vaccinations for a holiday. Emmanuel was supposed to slit his wrists but managed only superficial wounds before calling emergency services.

Their 11-year-old daughter, Alicia, succumbed to the insulin injection and died three weeks later. The other children survived. In court, Emmanuel admitted to being seduced by easy credit and acknowledged his role in the family's financial downfall.

In 2005, Emmanuel was convicted of murder and attempted murder by a court in Beauvais and sentenced to 15 years in prison. He has since been released after serving his sentence.
