This summer, we learned of the tragic death of Jean-François Langohr, a famous jeweler from Liège. On July 16, he was found dead following falling approximately 40 meters near the Awirs quarry. The suicide trail has always been favored to explain the death of the man who lived in Flémalle. Except that yet another disillusionment will precipitate this tragic end.

Indeed, an altercation took place in Jean-François Langohr’s jewelry store, one day before his death, on July 15. A thief then tried to exchange a bag full of beautiful jewelry for a bag overflowing with fake €200 notes. Amount of loot: 100,000 euros. The Liégeois had tried to recover his goods, but was rushed by the crook who had fled in a Peugeot 2007. The last straw for the 61-year-old man who already had financial problems.

Since then, the thief has been actively sought by the police. And good news this Tuesday, he is now behind bars, announces SudInfo. “A little over a week ago, he was placed under arrest warrant for violent theft by judge Fleur Collienne. The day before, he had been arrested in Antwerp,” specifies our colleagues.

As he boarded the train, the suspect was simply stopped by the police. A classic procedure during which the police understood that the man “was the subject of an international report in connection with a violent robbery. He was deprived of his liberty then handed over to investigators from the judicial brigade of the Liège police where he was questioned at length.
