The destruction of Marc Dutroux’s house began on Monday morning. 26 years following the horror, the house in Sars-la-Buissière will therefore soon be completely demolished. As a reminder, it is in this place that the bodies of Julie and Mélissa had been discovered.
“It is very satisfying to see the demolition of the house begin today. This puts an end to a sad and serious episode in the region. I contacted the parents of Julie and Mélissa last week to tell them the news. Together we will following the demolition consider a future for the site “explains Lucien Bauduin, mayor of Lobbes, at the microphone of our colleagues from Télésambre.
Ten days of operation
The curious little ones will however be prohibited from accessing the site: voyeurism will have no place there. “The site will be monitored 24 hours a day and police patrols will criss-cross the house. Anyone who enters it will be prosecuted by the prosecution.“.
“It’s a public project, we received the specifications in December, then the authorization, then finally the planning of the start of the date of the work, which is therefore today, March 13. For the moment, we are in the construction site installation, we must cordon off the perimeter to avoid prying eyes, and we are going to start emptying the building.“, explains Christophe Lemaitre, head of the Walloon constructions division for the Wanty group.
Safety is therefore at the heart of this project and for a very specific reason. “There may be malicious people who might imagine being able to recover something to keep it, or resell it“.
The operation should last regarding ten days.
