Six years after the sudden death of a wealthy real estate agent: the court pushes ahead with an assize trial against ‘femme fatale’ and her ex-lover

Six years after real estate agent Michel Van Welden (42) died unexpectedly at his home in Oudenaarde, the court is busy questioning neighbors, friends and family of both his widow and her then lover. These morality investigations prove: the court is preparing to bring ‘femme fatale’ Hilde R. (39) and Alexandre S. (53) to trial for murder. “Ridiculous,” says Hilde’s lawyer. “Because this is not a file for assizes, but for the trash.”
