A murder investigation has been launched after the body of a 61-year-old woman was discovered in a suspicious house fire in Artigues, Var. Initial findings indicate criminal activity, with multiple fire starting points and explosions reported.


There is little doubt about the criminal nature of the facts surrounding the tragic death of a 61-year-old woman whose body was discovered in a house fire in Artigues, a village in the Var department. A judicial investigation for murder has been initiated by the Draguignan prosecutor's office following the alarming findings at the scene. Firefighters responded to the blaze on Sunday afternoon, only to find the victim's lifeless body on the dining room floor after the fire was contained.

The prosecutor's office has made it clear that the initial findings strongly indicate a criminal act, revealing multiple starting points of the fire. Furthermore, the victim's vehicle was also found ablaze in the courtyard, raising further suspicions. Eyewitnesses reported hearing several explosions before the fire erupted, which authorities believe may have been linked to a gas cylinder explosion. As the investigation unfolds, it has been officially opened against an unknown individual, although no suspects have been identified at this time.
