Police in France have charged a 33-year-old father with murder after he allegedly killed his three-year-old son by stuffing him into a washing machine and turning it on.

The man, identified in reports as Christophe Champenois, was charged with "murder of a minor" late on Sunday in Meaux near Paris, court officials said.

The boy's mother was charged with failing to prevent a crime and failing to assist a person in danger.

Both were held without bail.

A source connected with the case said the child appeared to have died from "a blow to the head".

Neighbours said the boy, Bastien, died on Friday after his father put him naked in the washing machine to punish him for getting into trouble at nursery school.

A neighbour who gave her name only as Alice told journalists that she had seen the boy's body after his mother had come to her apartment for help.

"I took the little boy in my arms, he was frozen, completely naked. He was all white, limp, practically like a toy," said Alice, who lives in the same apartment building as the couple in Germiny L'Eveque, a town of 1300 people.

Alice said the boy's mother had attempted to resuscitate him with heart massage but failed.

A source connected with the inquiry said the man was denying the charges and asserting that the boy had fallen down the stairs.

But witness testimony and tests on the body were "consistent with the fact that the child was put into a washing machine", the source said, adding that the boy had been repeatedly abused, including by being locked up for hours in a cupboard.

A local official, Christine Boubet, said social services had assisted the family since 2006 "for social and psychological distress".

Since the end of the school holidays earlier this month Bastien's school, parents and sister had noticed a change in the boy's behaviour as he was more "disturbed, careless and a problem for his parents," Boubet said.


reasons why people should be sterilised and have to have a parenting license before being allowed to procreate. weed out all these horrible fuckers.

What the actual fuck?

Sadly, though, I feel like idiots like this would still somehow squeak through and get a parenting license.

Wow. Sometimes you really have to wonder what goes through the minds of these people.
it's really too bad that there cannot be some sort of 'parenting test' before people are allowed to procreate.

Doesn't sound like social services "assisted" that little boy very much at all. Big shock there.
