Angry over his girlfriend meeting another man, Remy Lecrenier, 29, killed her with a crossbow and a Colt-45, then killed her mother and her two sisters. Remy, a weapons freak and karate expert, lived with his girlfriend -- Vinciane -- and her family in the small village of Bas-Oha, 50 miles from Brussels.
Remy's July 7, 1997, murderous rampage is believed to have been triggered when Vinciane told him that she had met another man, and that he would have to move. Police believe Vinciane, 24, and her two sister, ages 21 and 19, were probably drugged before the massacre because there were no signs of struggle. Vinciane was found dead in her bedroom. Her two younger sister were found in their bedroom. They were naked and one had been sexually assaulted. The mother was found in the garage. Apparently she was shot after she returned from work. The father, Philippe Resbouxi, was in Spain at the time of the massacre preparing their upcoming vacation.
Remi, the king of the understatement, left a note on the fridge for the mother saying "You daughter drives me crazy." The lethal Romeo escaped after the massacre. Following a four-day southern international manhunt, Remy was arrested at a camping ground close to St. Tropez after being recognized by Belgian tourists.
