They were arrested this Thursday and are currently in police custody. Are they the parents of the young baby found in a trash can in Rennes on Friday October 13? In any case, this is what the Rennes police investigators think, who arrested a man and a woman this Thursday, in order to hear them about this tragic affair. “The two alleged parents are currently in police custody for attempted murder,” said prosecutor Philippe Astruc, confirming l’information d’Actu.fr. Aged 17, the young woman was first hospitalized to receive care following her delivery. She is being auditioned.
According to the Rennes public prosecutor’s office, the child’s father was confused by his DNA, taken from the infant. Born in 1999 in Mamoudzou (Mayotte), the man explained to investigators “that he had sexual relations during the year 2023 with a young minor woman born in 2006 also in Mayotte”. Quickly identified, the young woman appeared to live very close to the child’s drop-off location, found in Square Charles-Dullin.
The child found in a trash can Friday morning in Rennes is safe and sound. He was named Noah, Briac, Alban by the emergency services. – With the authorization of the Rennes public prosecutor’s office
Found naked in a bag at the bottom of a buried container in the Sarah Bernhardt district of Rennes, the infant was saved by firefighters, who descended several meters into the pit to rescue him. The alert was given by a resident, who had heard crying coming from the trash can. In the absence of the parents, the emergency services had named the child Noah, Briac, Alban.
Cared for in the maternity ward of the South Hospital, the baby, probably born a few hours ago, is “in good health”, the prosecutor said. The latter had voluntarily distributed the photo of the child “in order to generate possible testimonies which could have intervened”. More technical investigations allowed investigators to “progress quickly” and lead to the arrest of the father this Thursday morning, then the mother this afternoon.
An emergency protection measure
Noah Briac Alban had been the subject of a temporary placement order in order to protect him. “This means that no one can come and collect him, not even his parents. It’s an emergency protection measure, taking time to assess the situation,” explained a child protection professional to 20 Minutes. An investigation was opened for “attempted assassination”, leading to the arrest of the alleged parents this Thursday. The mother and father have two months from the birth to declare their child. Without this, he will be considered “born under X” and will become a ward of the nation until possible adoption.
Even if the parents were to recognize it, it is very likely that the infant would be placed in a nursery or in a foster family. In his message to the press, prosecutor Philippe Astruc praised the work of the juvenile brigade of the Rennes police and spoke of “the somewhat miraculous way” in which the child was saved.
