Two women, the partner and ex-partner of a former French police officer, were found dead in Portugal this Wednesday, March 25, according to Le Monde. The 42-year-old man is suspected of kidnapping his ex-wife and their 12-year-old son, for whom he had lost custody. He was arrested by the National Republican Guard (GNR) on Tuesday night in Mêda, in the Guarda district, for document forgery and illegal possession of a weapon. Cédric Prizzon had been missing since Friday and was wanted in France as part of an investigation into the kidnapping and abduction of several people. According to Montpellier prosecutor Thierry Lescouarc'h, the suspect was intercepted by Portuguese authorities in the company of two children (one from the ex-wife he allegedly kidnapped and another from a previous relationship), who were found safe and sound. Prizzon's ex-partner and their son, Élio, disappeared from Saint-Grat, in the commune of Vailhourles, on Friday morning. Shortly after, the man's current partner and their baby daughter were also reported missing. The disappearances led French police to issue an international arrest warrant and consider the possibility of flight abroad. Prizzon has a criminal record related to the custody of his eldest son, having lost parental rights after taking the child to Spain without the mother's authorization in 2021. Subsequently, he staged hunger strikes in front of the Rodez Court and protests at the Villefranche-de-Rouergue town hall, denouncing the loss of custody of his son. On social media, he posted videos claiming his son was 'in danger' with his mother and criticizing the 'corrupt justice system', having also threatened his ex-partner.
