A lawyer shot dead near her office, the suspect still on the run: “A weapon was found on the scene”
The suspect is a 65-year-old man who lives less than five kilometers from the lawyer’s home. He was arrested on a school outing in front of students and their parents, and questioned by investigators, but his link with the murder of the lawyer has yet to be established. He was himself a client of Claudia Van Der Stichelen. As HLN tells us, EDC asked on Facebook what we might do once morest a lawyer.
Our colleagues questioned the EDC neighborhood, who found it difficult to believe that the sixty-year-old might have committed the irreparable. A neighbor said: “When it happened, EDC was watching television at home. And when he learned of the murder of his lawyer, the sky fell on his head. He mightn’t believe it.”
The neighbors of the arrested man knew that he did not have a good relationship with his lawyer. He often posted messages on Facebook along these lines. “But being angry with someone is something different than killing them,” another neighbor confided to our colleagues.
Generally speaking, the man regularly posted regarding his problems on social media. Placed under guardianship, he encountered difficulties in a land sale matter. The neighborhood agrees to describe someone as “eccentric”, but not to the point of committing a crime.

EDC’s neighbors further claimed that he had money and alcohol problems. “He just didn’t have the money to go out.” Others say he had been unemployed for several years.
This Thursday, the prosecution will communicate on the arrest of EDC to confirm or deny its link with the mysterious murder of lawyer Claudia Van Der Stichelen.
