Angry over his girlfriend meeting
another man, Remy Lecrenier, 29, killed her with a crossbow and a Colt-45,
then killed her mother and her two sisters. Remy, a weapons freak and
karate expert, lived with his girlfriend -- Vinciane -- and her family
in the small village of Bas-Oha, 50 miles from Brussels.
Remy's July 7, 1997, murderous rampage is believed to
have been triggered when Vinciane told him that she had met another man,
and that he would have to move. Police believe Vinciane, 24, and her two
sister, ages 21 and 19, were probably drugged before the massacre
because there were no signs of struggle. Vinciane was found dead in her
bedroom. Her two younger sister were found in their bedroom. They were
naked and one had been sexually assaulted. The mother was found in the
garage. Apparently she was shot after she returned from work. The father,
Philippe Resbouxi, was in Spain at the time of the massacre preparing
their upcoming vacation.
Remi, the king of the understatement, left a note on
the fridge for the mother saying "You daughter drives me crazy." The
lethal Romeo escaped after the massacre. Following a four-day southern
international manhunt, Remy was arrested at a camping ground close to St.
Tropez after being recognized by Belgian tourists.
