Belgian baron found dead after kidnapping bid
Antwerp authorities disclosed Baron Charles-Victor Bracht, 63, died days after his March 7 abduction. An autopsy showed injuries from resisting the kidnapping, with bloodstains and hair at the crime site. Ransom demands had been made, but no proof of life was sent to the family. The body was located at a pond-side dump near Oelegem, six miles from the baron’s chateau. The family had earlier appealed for evidence of life.
