East: Twins suspected of killing father, mother also victim of attempted murder

In Lorient, Morbihan, two 18-year-old twin brothers are under investigation for the murder of their father, who was found dead at his home. They were placed in provisional detention after being formally charged with 'murder' and 'complicity in murder.' The victim, a 61-year-old man, was discovered with multiple stab wounds to the chest and abdomen. One of the twins is also accused of attempted murder against their mother, who lives in Eure-et-Loir and survived the attack. The pair had prior legal issues related to theft and drug trafficking and were previously under educational supervision. Authorities are continuing their investigation to clarify the sequence of events and determine the specific roles of each twin.

Two eighteen-year-old twins have been charged with murder after their sixty-one-year-old father was found dead at his home in Lorient, France, on Sunday. The brothers were placed in pretrial detention on Tuesday following their indictment for homicide and complicity in homicide. Prosecutors stated that the victim sustained multiple knife wounds to his chest and abdomen. One of the suspects faces additional charges for attempted murder against their mother, who resides in the Eure-et-Loir department. The body of the father was discovered inside the family residence in the Morbihan region. According to Deputy Prosecutor Antoine Loussot, the investigation aims to establish the precise sequence of events and determine the specific role each twin played in the crime. The suspect accused of attacking their mother is separately indicted for attempted murder against a parent. Both young men have prior criminal records involving theft and drug trafficking, which had previously resulted in educational supervision measures. They are also currently under investigation for forming a criminal association. Local authorities confirmed that the twins are known to police for previous offenses. The prosecutor’s office released a statement outlining the ongoing judicial process. Investigations continue to clarify the exact circumstances surrounding the fatal attack in Lorient and the separate assault in Eure-et-Loir. The legal proceedings focus on defining the individual responsibilities of the two defendants within the broader framework of the alleged crimes. No further details regarding the motive or the specific timing of the attacks beyond the initial discovery were disclosed by officials. The case remains active as investigators gather evidence to support the indictments filed this week.
