Murder of Christiane Thys in Dampremy: one of the suspects spent two weeks in a coma

He was found in a state of clinical death in his cell following the ingestion of methadone.

On November 2, 2017, the dead body of Christiane Thys was found in his apartment on the rue de Heigne in Dampremy . Her neighbors, who were worried about not hearing from him for several days, had pushed her door … to close it again soon after seeing the smell of putrefaction coming from the studio.

The police came down on the spot and quickly realized that it was not a natural death. The badagenarian, who lived alone, had indeed been stabbed several times. The scene was apparently searched, suggesting a murder to facilitate theft.

As usual, the homicide section of the PJF Charleroi conducted the investigation thoroughly, not closing any doors . For a time, the son of Christiane Thys was among the suspects, before being removed from it.

So it was to the neighborhood that the scoundrels of the federal turned. The victim was actually considered a badagenarian somewhat bitten by her neighbors. But it was not her mood swings that cost Christiane Thys her life. In a neighboring apartment lived Anthony Maitrot, 19, and his brother Youry Fleron, 28.

Delivered to themselves since adolescence (one took the name of his mother), the brothers were already known of justice for some little misdeeds. Youry, the eldest, clearly had the upper hand over Anthony. It also happened to send him to commit petty theft.

And the day of the crime, Youry, visibly exceeded by his neighbor badagenarian, would have asked his younger to go steal the plasma television and the tablet of this last, adding "to slap her if she resisted."

Anthony therefore provided a hood, but also a knife. "To threaten the victim, so as not to be forced to hit her," he told investigators. Except that the aggression went wrong when Christiane Thys screamed. Her attacker then strangled her and stabbed her several times.

Having understood the seriousness of the facts, Youry ordered her brother to bring back the loot and reconnect the TV, before expelling him from his home. home. Anthony has been hiding with friends for several months. But the investigators eventually went back on his tracks and arrested him at the end of March.

Questioned, the young man acknowledged the stabbings and was placed under arrest for murder to facilitate the murder. flight. Considered the sponsor, Youry, a father of four, was also arrested and imprisoned.

This Wednesday, the two brothers appeared before the Charleroi council chamber. Meanwhile, Anthony spent 15 days in a coma after ingesting methadone … while he is not a drug addict. The guards found him in a state of clinical death in his cell. Attempted suicide? Impossible to verify, except that he left a letter in which he apologizes for causing trouble to his brother. A form of retraction that would exculpate Yuri? For the time being, the council chamber has confirmed the two arrest warrants.
