Turkish family found dead in eastern France

Gökhan Taşdemir was found dead with his wrists sliced, while his wife and children, aged three and seven, were found strangled in their home in Folschviller by the sister of Taşdemir’s wife who had gone to the house to visit the family, Folschviller Mayor Gabriel Müller said in a press statement.    

While police suspected that the father killed the family members and then himself, sources close to the family said the couple had been having problems recently but their deaths could have been a homicide committed by a fifth person, as the house’s garage door was found open and the family’s car was found some 200 meters away from the house.
