It is a drama linked to neighborhood conflicts but which makes people talk because the victim is a former candidate for the Star Academy in Belgium. On December 30, Jean-Yves Wargnies, who had participated in the singing competition in 2002, was attacked by bullets around 10:50 am rue du Congo in Marchienne-au-Pont, in Belgium. Known for his participation in the Belgian version of the program Star Academy, the singer was reportedly murdered by Domenico Puddu, one of his neighbors.
Annoyed by the noise pollution due to the work that the artist had undertaken at his home, the 66-year-old man would have had a “blood stroke”, according to SudPresse.
After first asking him to stop making noise, he returned home armed with a pistol. “A series of shots took place and the victim was hit in the leg before he managed to flee on foot,” said the prosecution. He shoots for the first time without reaching the victim. Pursued by the attacker, she tries to flee. The shooter begins a second time, reaching his head. Jean-Yves Wargnies eventually succumbed to his injuries last Friday, said his sister.
“It seems to be a neighborhood dispute that has been going on for some time. The suspect even indicates that he has already called the police to find out the nuisance caused, “said Sandrine Vairon, Charleroi division prosecutor.
The alleged shooter was charged and placed under arrest warrant for attempted murder and violation of weapons law. Following the death of the victim, the facts will soon be reclassified as murder. The man was already known to the judicial authorities for threats and bodily harm.
