Grandparents of missing toddler to be released

Police custody over the grand-parents of Emile Soleil, a French toddler who went missing nearly two years ago, was lifted yesterday and they will be released, their lawyers said.

Philippe Vedovini was detained with his wife, Anne, since Tuesday in connection with the death of their two-year-old grandson, who went missing from their home in a remote part of France between Aix-en-Provence and Aubagne in July 2023.

No trace of Emile Soleil was found until the end of March last year, when hikers in the mountain area came across the skull and teeth of a child not far from their home.

Late Wednesday night, the lawyer of Anne Vedovini said that his client’s and Emile’s uncle’s also around dawn yesterday that the same measure was also applied to Philippe.
