Gy killings: grandmother died of knife wounds, father shot children and himself
Autopsies of four family members found dead on September 2 in Gy, Haute-Saône, reveal the grandmother died from violent knife wounds inflicted by the children's father. The father, his two children aged 6 and 10, and their 74-year-old grandmother were discovered dead. The children and father died from gunshot wounds, while the grandmother was beaten and stabbed three times. The medical examiner described the knife blows as "extremely violent" and noted the children were shot at close range. The prosecutor's leading hypothesis is that the father, who was separating from his partner, killed the three others before turning the weapon on himself. The investigation continues to establish the exact sequence of events.
