Sunday in the late afternoon, three of his five children (9, 10 and 13 years) went play in the park along the lake near Saint-Jean, next to the paternal home. The investigation is under way, but it seems that the two youngest ones have moved away from their mother-in-law simply to soak their feet in the water, before sliding to a place where the bottom goes down practically vertically. Their big brother would have tried to rescue them, but none of the three could swim, they sank in.
A whole city upset
"This is a very great sadness," says Wadie, a friend of the family. With others, including Boubou, the maternal grandfather of children, he sits in the grbad, in the shade, in front of the building in the district of Aubépins. They discuss around a pack of water and some bricks of fruit juice. Wadie is the most loquacious, while Kalilou and Ferchichi, relations of this family struck by this terrible drama, silently acquiesce.
"It's terrible, they're good people, parents," says Wadie.

No warning sign at the lake
In Chalon, almost everyone knows that one should not swim in the plane of Pres Saint-Jean water, despite the lack of a warning sign, a problem raised by some. Places are not allowed, but these are only places where it is forbidden to fish, according to Kalilou. For the latter, it would be necessary to fence the whole lake. But nobody is looking for guilt, and especially not Wadie: "There is no anger, because even if there had been signs, nothing says they would not have drowned.
