Tragic Ostend Affair Ends in Double Imprisonment
In Ostend a renowned inventor M. Dietz killed a young midshipman named Libben after suspecting his wife of infidelity. Dietz then bound his wife with the dying man and alerted magistrates. Both were moved to Bruges for trial. Dietz jailed for murder, wife for adultery. The couple’s four to five year old son was returned to Ostend. Belgian reports note the wife’s mental alienation since imprisonment.
