A 41-year-old man is being held on suspicion of murder after his girlfriend was struck and killed by his van on the Kerkhovenweg in Leopoldsburg, Limburg, on the evening of Saturday 8 August 2026, at around 7.30pm. The 40-year-old woman, from Heusden-Zolder, died at the scene of her injuries. The suspect, from Lommel, had drunk too much at the time of the incident; a saliva test for drugs was negative. He was arrested shortly afterwards on suspicion of murder and denies hitting her deliberately. Whether the collision was intentional remains the central question of the investigation. On 14 August 2026 the raadkamer in Hasselt ruled that he remains in pre-trial detention.
