The husband of a Formula One circuit boss shot her and her mistress dead after finding them in bed together — then killed himself, it is believed.
Nathalie Maillet, 51 — manager of Belgium’s Spa-Francorchamps track — was found dead alongside Ann Lawrence Durviaux, 53, with the body of Franz Dubois nearby in their house at Gouvy.
He is said to have alerted police before turning the gun on himself.
Mayor Veronique Leonard confirmed: ‘I was warned around 2.30am by police that a double murder and suicide had been committed.’
Ex-race driver Ms Maillet was appointed in 2016 and oversaw modernisation of the circuit which held its first Grand Prix in 1925.
Dubois was also well known in motorsport as a team owner and co-founder of the VW Fun Cup series.
Spa chairman Melchior Wathelet said: ‘My thoughts are with Nathalie’s family, her parents, relatives and teams.
‘Today we are losing a very great lady, a motorsports lover and enthusiast, a true leader who will be sorely missed.
‘Nathalie had become the face of the circuit, she embodied this passion for racing that we all share.’
Local media reports that the investigation is ongoing with forensics teams and ballistics experts examining the scene of the crime.
The motive behind the killing is yet to be confirmed.
Apparently not HIS either.............
Maybe so. I really don’t think I’d be all that worked up about another woman. I’d be “ok, fine, make me a sandwich when you are done.”
Stay classy bro 👍
Looks like Franz blew a gasket.
When did honor killings start happening in . . . never mind, after all in France for many years you could get away with crimes of passion . . .
Like Rodney said, if you’re in a threesome with two women, you can fall asleep right afterwards, because they have each other to talk to.
LOL!!! That’s a good one.
Drove Spa two summers ago.
Incredible track.
She should have known. Some people may say they are ‘fine’ with an Open Marriage, because it sounds like the right thing to say, the way to show you are non-judgemental. They are ‘fine’ with it in theory, that is, until it actually happens.
Then, the most mild mannered person can go full out Primal with possessive rage. The fact that his wife had a girlfriend, may have compounded the shock or sense of betrayal.
Dan Connor?
Mmmmmmmaaaaybe
Your fault this came to mind.

A no-brainer.
Ms. Maillet on the left, Ms. Durviaux on the right.
Sheesh dude, she was just making a pit stop.
They look like Ellen Degenerate and Megan RappinHoe.
Both of them have men’s hairstyles. That’s a dead giveaway.
Yup
