Tonight at 9:05 p.m., CRIMES on Chérie 25 highlights three criminal cases that shook Belgium. Through poignant stories and meticulous investigations, this edition promises to thrill viewers. The show delves into complex cases, where the mysteries and twists keep the audience in suspense. Here are the three tragic cases which will be deciphered this evening.
Bad Encounter: Alicia’s Murder
On August 21, 2010, Alicia, 16, disappeared after a seemingly innocuous evening in Liège. Hidden from their parents, Alicia and her friend Marine decide to go to a birthday party. But Alicia will never come back. The discovery of her body in a cellar, stabbed and strangled, plunges investigators into horror. The young man Samuel, with whom Alicia had spent time the day before, quickly becomes the main suspect. Despite overwhelming evidence, he persists in denying any responsibility, arguing that it was an accident. This investigation will reveal gray areas that will call his assertions into question.
The mysterious murder “Manga”
On September 28, 2007, in Duden Park near Brussels, human remains were found, arranged in a macabre display. Two thighs and a pelvis are placed on a Japanese ideogram, covered with rice, accompanied by inscriptions in Japanese: “I am Kira, the killer of killers”. The case destabilizes the police, especially since the crime seems inspired by a famous Japanese manga. After two years of investigations, the DNA recovered will reveal that the remains belong to Larbi, a victim of a criminal trio with obscure motivations. The investigation will reveal the involvement of several individuals in this appalling murder.
Almost perfect suicide
On August 4, 2007, Isabelle, 30, was found dead in her bathtub in Braives, near Liège. Investigators quickly concluded it was suicide, explaining that the victim was very emotionally fragile. But three years later, a turnaround occurs when the mother of Bruno, Isabelle’s ex-companion, reveals that her son could be responsible for the young woman’s death. This new hypothesis will breathe new life into the case, especially since there is no material evidence to implicate Bruno. The case has sparked intense debate among experts, who are struggling to solve the mystery of this possible murder disguised as suicide.
