The drama took place this Monday in the early evening. Many emergency and police vehicles went to rue du Petit Lannoy in Saint-Léger, a village in the municipality of Estaimpuis. A woman in her 50s was found dead at the scene.
It is obviously in the home of a couple, Christian and Véronique, that the drama took place. The man, also in his fifties, contacted the emergency services around 6:50 p.m. on Monday. According to our information, he explained that he found his wife hanged. The latter would have depended on her and would then have called for help.
For the moment, the precise circumstances of the tragedy are still unknown. Around 11:30 p.m., the police were still on the spot, accompanied by the lab of the Federal Judicial Police (PJF) of Tournai. The thesis of the murder has not been confirmed or ruled out and investigation duties are in progress in order to clarify the facts which took place within this dwelling.
