Assassination of lawyer Claudia Van Der Stichelen: a 65-year-old man arrested, his neighbors testify
The prosecution had confirmed earlier in the day that a suspect had been arrested Wednesday evening. However, it has not yet been established with certainty that this is the perpetrator. The person concerned was interviewed with a view to a possible appearance before an investigating judge in Oudenaarde.
The man was under the guardianship of the deceased lawyer and expressed negative comments about her on Facebook. However, the presence of any element directly linked to the facts remains to be clarified.
On Thursday, a search operation was also carried out on the orders of the Oudenaarde investigating judge to find the murder weapon. The prosecution and the police have made no comments regarding the results of this operation, but the murder weapon has not yet been found.
The events took place on October 28 in Hautem-Saint-Liévin (Eastern Flanders). A man showed up around 1:15 p.m. at Claudia Van der Stichelen’s home and opened fire on the fifty-year-old and her son. The lawyer died from her injuries and her son was seriously injured.
