During the two days she was deprived of her freedom for the purpose of the investigation (“garde à vue”), the 33-year-old woman did not explain the facts and was “evasive” about what she did after the death of her son, said magistrate Laureline Peyrefitte.
The dead boy was found 100 meters from the family home in Ferrières-en-Brie on Thursday. The father had reported both his wife and his son missing on Wednesday evening after returning from work because they were both not at home.
The woman is said to be mentally unstable.
