A second suspect was arrested Thursday as part of the investigation into the death of lawyer Claudia Van der Stichelen, shot dead at her home in Hautem-Saint-Liévin (East Flanders) on October 28. The information was confirmed by a good source. The second suspect is a family member of the suspect arrested Wednesday. A search also took place at his home in Erpe-Mere.
The prosecution had confirmed earlier in the day that a suspect had been arrested Wednesday evening. However, it has not yet been established with certainty that this is the perpetrator. The person concerned was interviewed with a view to a possible appearance before an investigating judge in Oudenaarde.
The man was under the guardianship of the deceased lawyer and expressed negative comments regarding her on Facebook. However, the presence of any element directly linked to the facts remains to be clarified.
On Thursday, a search operation was also carried out on the orders of the Oudenaarde investigating judge to find the murder weapon. The prosecution and the police have made no comments regarding the results of this operation, but the murder weapon has not yet been found.
