The 73-year-old woman died at the beginning of this week in her home in Steenstraat. “Suddenly there were four police vehicles here at night,” local residents say. “The public prosecutor’s office also sent a team to the scene for a trace investigation. Officers then started ringing doorbells everywhere to conduct a neighborhood investigation.”
According to local residents, Marie-Roos’ daughter had been locking her mother in a room on the top floor for some time because a retirement home was too expensive. The woman had not been outside for a long time. “It’s all very distressing,” it still sounds. We also hear from a good source that the police have had to come to the scene several times in the past for incidents of domestic violence.
An investigating judge was appointed to investigate the facts further. Marie-Roos’ daughter was taken for questioning, but that does not mean that she is immediately a suspect. According to the latest information, she has not been arrested either. What her friend’s possible role is remains unclear. He allegedly fled when officers arrived on the scene.
