The Butcher of Mons: Belgium’s Unsolved Suitcase Murders | Belgium

Between 1996 and 1997, the dismembered remains of at least five women were found stuffed in garbage bags and dumped inside suitcases around the Belgian city of Mons. The killer, who came to be known as Le Dépeceur de Mons — The Butcher of Mons — has never been identified. The murders shocked the quiet provincial city and left investigators chasing one of the most disturbing unsolved serial murder cases in Belgian history. Decades later, questions still linger: Who was the Butcher of Mons, and why did he choose to scatter his victims’ remains along roads with names that translated to words like Hate, Fear, and Anxiety? Listen now to uncover the story of Belgium’s most haunting cold case. Books: Read collections of The Evidence Locker Files, available in print and digital editions.
