The man, however, denies being linked to the facts. Pierre D. had a relationship with one of the two victims, Magali W., but it would have ended. The latter and her daughter Coline, 17, were both killed by several stab wounds, probably during the night of Wednesday to Thursday.
It was the suspect himself who alerted the emergency services Thursday evening when he discovered a pool of blood in the entrance hall of the Annecylaan family home in Kraainem. The bodies of Magali W. (46), a teacher at a school in Anderlecht, and her 17-year-old daughter Coline, were later found there. Both were killed with several stab wounds, according to sources familiar with the matter, with “unprecedented aggressiveness”.
The mobile phones of the two victims had disappeared, as well as Magali W.’s car, but there were no other signs of a burglary.
However, certain elements indicate that the two victims had already been killed on the night of Wednesday to Thursday. Young Coline did not show up at her school on Thursday, the Don Bosco Institute in Woluwé-Saint-Pierre. Neighbors had also heard a loud argument in the family home Wednesday evening around 2:00 a.m.
During his interrogation by the police and then by the investigating judge, Pierre D. denied having killed the two victims. The man would also have spent the night from Wednesday to Thursday at a friend’s house.
In various media, neighbors have described the newly formed household as a model family. However, according to Magali W.’s first companion, who is also Coline’s father, Pierre D. and Magali W. had recently decided to separate.
