Monday evening, September 19, Delphine Kulcsar and Jean-Pierre Henskens were shot dead in Mont-sur-Marchienne. It was Delphine’s ex, Carl Manzanares, who went to her house to kill them, armed with a gun. They had broken up a month earlier. He committed suicide after his gesture.
This new feminicide has dropped a heavy screed on the shoulders of many Carolos: Delphine was a history teacher at the Collège du Sacré-Coeur and obviously very much loved. The school interrupted classes on Tuesday afternoon and all Wednesday, a psychological cell was opened for those who needed it.
But the families, victims too, are in mourning. Delphine notably leaves behind two children. Jean-Pierre three:“life is unfair”, writes one of his daughters on social networks. Social networks where hundreds of comments offering condolences, offering support or sharing the pain of families have flourished in recent hours, everywhere among loved ones.
Delphine Kulcsar will have a religious funeral on September 24 at 11 a.m. at the Jumet Hamendes church, meeting at the Fontaine de Gilly funeral home at 10:15 a.m. His companion Jean-Pierre Henskens will have a civil funeral at the Gilly crematorium the same day, at 10 a.m., meeting at the Fostier funeral home in Montigny-le-Tilleul at 9:30 a.m.
