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.
That is a tough one.
A puzzle, no?
Should have just joined them.
P**** is not worth murder and suicide.
Another line of true brilliance by soon to be Pulitzer Prize winner.
I am sick of the mundane stupidity exhibited by today's "reporters".

I don’t think I would want to meet my maker under these circumstances.
Weellll they can’t say anything about her and her girlfriend.... in bed...... why the rainbow crowd will get their diapers in a twist.
I think hot lesbians are cool and would definitely jump in the sack with them for a little fun .Unfortunately these 2 lesbians don’t fit my definition of hot.
I’d have to see the P**** first, before passing judgement.
It’s like an episode of “Friends,” without the murders
The one looks like a chubby Ellen Degeneres
Maybe he shot them because they wouldn't let him.
I guess he didn’t notice the fish smell on her.
The 911 operator put the caller on notice that it was illegal for him to have a gun.....
Gee detective, let me sort out this puzzler for you...
Dude’s married. Wife starts acting weird. Dude starts wondering if something is up. Figures out she’s gone carpet muncher. Gets jealous, depressed, and angry. Works out some of his anger and then gets REALLY depressed because now he is all alone in the world and looking at prison...
For some reason that would be easier to handle than if she was with a dude.....I woulda probly just started laughing, walked out, packed my crap and left.
Double murder and suicide....c’mon man. Sheesh
They’re not Cinemax at 0300 lesbos…
Exactly!
