Local government chief Paul Mourier told AFP that he had asked for the entire
Var department (region) as well as the village to be cordoned off. The French
gendarmerie said the suspect had a criminal record.
One of the dead women was married with daughters aged five and 13 while the
other had a gendarme boyfriend, officials said.
Interior Minister Manuel Valls was to travel Monday morning to Collobrieres, a
village with a 2,000 population nestled in the Maures mountains.
It was the first time in the history of the gendarmerie that two females from
the force had been killed in the same operation, an investigator said.
