The inhabitants of rue Grand-Vinâve in Jemeppe (Seraing) are still in shock. This is where Maria Verdoolaege (74) lived with her two children and her granddaughter.
Part of the body of the septuagenarian, her four limbs, was found on Wednesday in a fridge floating on the waters of the Albert Canal in Oupeye while the police found her trunk and her head in a smart container which, was still in the Meuse near Wandre. In all likelihood, the two containers would have been thrown upstream, at the same time, one moving faster than the other.
Human arms and legs found in a fridge floating on the Albert Canal: a suspect arrested, he would have murdered his mother
When the fridge was discovered, the police thought they had a complicated file on their hands. This was not the case since the day following this discovery, a questioning testimony, to say the least, came back to their ears. A man, certainly soaked in alcohol, had telephoned the police to say that one of his friends had received the confidences of a third party who had claimed to have killed his mother, before dismembering her! If the testimony had not been taken very seriously, it obviously regained credibility at the time of discovery. Then, when the police scanned the Meuse and found the container with the rest of Maria’s body, the chip in the container identified its owner, a man living in Jemeppe and neighbor of Maria.
If the man was exonerated, even Maria’s death was not established. It was because neighbors were certain that Maria was in fact on vacation. “We were told that she had gone to Cameroon with a friend. We weren’t worried”, says an acquaintance of Maria.
He was carrying big bags
When questioned, a neighbor told the police the same thing. “On top of that, no one in the family seemed worried,” says another friend who lives not far from Maria’s house. “But it’s true that Maria had difficulties with her son. She had told me once that she had problems with Ishmael. He was squatting in her room and she had to go sleep somewhere else in the house. She didn’t want this to last any longer. I even heard shouts of argument once, but I don’t know who Maria was arguing with.”
One thing is certain, a few days ago, several neighbors saw Ishmael coming out with large bags, which does not yet mean that they contained the body of his late mother, or more likely his belongings, when he decided to go to Korea.
Questioned at length by the investigators. Ishmael would have confessed to having killed and dismembered his mother. He should appear in the next few hours before the examining magistrate.
