“My client was very cooperative, but he was very emotional.” This is what the lawyer of the defendant Mathias D. (44) said after the reconstruction of the ‘wellness murder’, which lasted almost two hours. In the beautiful home in Waregem he showed how he killed his wife Stephanie Demeyere (43) just after New Year. The investigators hoped to get more answers. The defendant’s 19-year-old stepson was also present, causing some commotion in a fit of emotion shortly after the reconstruction.
