You don't arrive here by chance, especially to kill a man with several bullets in front of his family. Away from the small Flemish town of Wormhout (North), the road runs alongside an ordeal before arriving at a path which leads to what must have been a farm. In the middle of the fields, we can see a house to the right of a large shed. Between the two, several heavy goods vehicles are parked.
It was here that Paul D., 29, was shot and killed a little after 3 p.m. Saturday. “A good guy” assures a regular at the Relais de la Poste in Wormhout. “He had his own transport company, like his father who is also a transporter.” On Sunday, around the Christmas market chalets, amazement dominates. “Life is quiet here, no one understands. It is said that the killer had worked for the victim, that he had a disagreement with him”believes Laurie, a fifty-year-old who came to drink mulled wine with a few friends “but we’re not sure of anything yet”.
What we know very precisely is that only a short hour passed between the shooting in front of the Wormhout farm and the death of four other victims, in Loon-Plage, on the edge of the Dunkirk port area. And that at 5:20 p.m., a young man of 22 years old presented himself at the gendarmerie very close to Ghyvelde, accusing himself of these five murders.
