This Wednesday morning, the Clos des Charmes in Heusy, located not far from the tennis court, woke up in a certain commotion with several police and ambulance cars. And for good reason a lady, Anita Froncione, 57, was killed in her home at the stroke of four in the morning the night from Tuesday to Wednesday.
“A person, a lady, was found at the bottom of a staircase in her home, details the prosecutor of the king division Verviers, Gilles de Villers Grands Champs. It was the husband who notified the emergency services. The paramedics arrived on the scene and discovered things that they found disturbing. Suddenly, a call was made to the police and the magistrate on duty was contacted. The forensic laboratory was dispatched with the forensic pathologist. “
And suspicions about this possible fall were quickly confirmed. “The police were there and the husband too. But the forensic scientist found traces of intervention by third parties. Namely injuries to the face, skull and traces of strangulation. The person, according to the first elements of the investigation died following the intervention of a third party. An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. “
As for the possible murderer, suspicions are directed towards the 72-year-old husband. “The magistrate on duty requested the deprivation of liberty of the husband, being the only person present at the time of the facts. Husband who has not yet been able to be officially heard by the police services. The first information would be that he denies of anyway any involvement in the death of his wife. The hearing is scheduled for this Wednesday also. The case has been investigated and he will in any case be charged with the count of intentional homicide, therefore murder dependent on this person. And he will be referred tomorrow to the investigating judge. With a request for an arrest warrant. “
According to residents of Clos des Charmes met, disputes have erupted recently within the couple as well as some conflicts with the neighbors. Neighbors who believe that the couple was not that quiet even if the prosecution specifies that the “Monsieur is not particularly known to the justice services.”
As for the mobile, “we don’t know him at all at the present time.e, continues Gilles de Villers Grands Champs. There is all the investigative homework going on. We will have to check if anything has happened in this house before, see what we can have as information on that level. But we are only at the beginning of the investigation and we do not know how to say more for the moment. The next few hours will say more with the result of the autopsy, the hearing of the suspect still presumed innocent. We have very challenging elements in any case and very clearly, the forensic pathologist is categorical: it is a homicide, voluntary. And so not an accident. “
