Authorities in northern France are investigating the deaths of twin baby girls, aged 15 months, found dead in their beds in the town of Beuvrages near Valenciennes. According to reports, emergency services are called after the twins’ parents discover them unresponsive. The parents are subsequently placed in police custody as the case is examined.
Sources also say other children in the same home are suffering from dehydration. Officials describe dehydration as a factor in the children’s condition, but the exact cause of death for the twins is not fully detailed in the accounts provided. The incident occurs in a household where four other children are reported to have been affected.
The ongoing investigation focuses on circumstances leading to the twins’ deaths and the medical condition of the other children. Police custody of the parents indicates that authorities are pursuing questions relating to potential neglect or other failures to provide adequate care, while medical and forensic assessments are expected to inform next steps.
