Family tragedy at the Creux du Van, a natural rocky amphitheater in the Swiss canton of Neuchatel, where the bodies of a woman and two small children, aged 2 and 4, were found. According to the first information released today by the prosecutor and the police, a 37-year-old mother committed suicide by throwing herself into the void with her two children.
The alarm was raised yesterday morning shortly after 9.30 by a hiker, the Neocastellan authorities specify in a note. According to the witness, a person had probably fallen from the cliff, located in the Val de Travers.
The search, which started immediately, which was also attended by a Rega helicopter, the Swiss Air-Rescue Guard, made it possible to quickly identify three bodies, those of a woman and two children. We investigate to determine the causes of the tragedy but everything suggests that the mother has thrown herself into the precipice with her two children.
