Motive for five homicides remains unclear; suspect to undergo psychiatric examination.
Police in France have arrested a 33-year-old man suspected of murdering his wife and four children in a knife attack early on Christmas Day, a public prosecutor has said.
The mother, 35, and two daughters, aged seven and 10 years, were stabbed several times overnight from Sunday to Monday, prosecutor Jean-Baptiste Bladier said on Tuesday.
The two younger sons, aged nine months and four years, were either suffocated or drowned, Bladier said.
Police broke in through a bedroom window of their ground-floor flat to find a “very violent crime scene” covered in blood, the prosecutor said.
The bodies were found on Monday night in an apartment in the town of Meaux, 40km (25 miles) east of Paris after friends and family sounded the alarm.
