Alfred Gadenne (31 January 1946 – 11 September 2017) was a Belgian politician for the Centre démocrate humaniste and mayor of Mouscron in Hainaut until his death in September 2017.
Death[edit]
Gadenne was murdered on 11 September 2017 at the age of 71. He was killed at a municipal graveyard close to his home in Mouscron by Nathan Duponcheel.[1] Local news outlets at first reported that a suspect handed himself in to police and that the motive was unclear.[2] The next day the then 18-year-old man told police he killed Gadenne to avenge the death of his father, who committed suicide in 2015 after losing his job as a local council employee.[3]
