Wednesday around 4:30 p.m., on the quays of Sambre at the border between Couillet and Montignies (province of Hainaut), an employee working nearby who was getting ready to go home saw, floating in the water, the lifeless body of a “black haired” man, he said.
Around 5 p.m., the Marcinelle firefighters confirmed the macabre discovery. The unfortunate man was found near the old Solvay factory. According to the spokesman for the firefighters of the Hainaut-East zone, the remains had already been staying for several days in this tributary of the Meuse.
A link with worrying disappearances?
Around 6 p.m., a white tent was erected along the towpath which borders the Solvay road. In the dark, the first investigations took place out of sight. According to the direct witness, whose testimony was taken for almost half an hour, the police told him that it was a “big deal”.
A source close to the investigation, given the temporal and geographic proximity between the two cases, the police could not help wondering about a possible link with the only file of disturbing disappearance recent. That of Shujaat Yawari and Kaushar Hussein, whose vehicle was found abandoned on the banks of the Sambre, a few kilometers away.
That said, as of this writing, it’s important to note, no material element allowed to accredit this thesis and additional examinations were to be conducted. Out of respect for the family, whose anguish can only be imagined, the authorities preferred to be cautious, as extreme as it was logical.
