In ‘his’ Waardamme, a sub-municipality of Oostkamp, a father killed his two daughters on Wednesday night. “Normally I’m a smooth talker, but when I saw the mom I was looking for words,” says De Keyser, who also talked to the dad of perpetrator Chris Vanhaverbeke on Thursday evening. “Those people are also victims and have a lot of grief . They wonder what life has to offer them.”
