Father (44) who killed two daughters, before the judge after ex-wife’s complaint: “He beat and raped her”

Chris Vanhaverbeke (44), the farmer who killed his two children in Waardamme, will soon have to answer in court. Not yet for the murder, but for the rape and assault and battery of his (ex-)wife. He seems to admit only the latter. “We strongly dispute that rape,” said his lawyer. The case is peanuts compared to what may await him later, but it is immediately important for his entire further defense.
