ASSISEN. Manhole cover murder. Law doctor: “This is not explained by the fall of a stone”

Crucial day at the assize trial against pig farmer Jef Van Ouwenhuysen and his son Marnik. The Antwerp law doctor Werner Jacobs placed more than huge question marks with Jef’s story about the death of Paul Boeye, the owner of their farm. “The victim had injuries in three different areas: multiple fractures in the face and on the top of his head and the back of his head. That cannot possibly have been caused by a falling manhole cover.”
