Belgian police probe murders of ten internet daters who died after emptying bank accounts and flying to Africa to marry
By Adam Boulton
· Families fear victims have been poisoned by gang
· 'Bride' claims new husband became ill and died
Ten men who drained their bank accounts and flew to Africa to find love and marry an internet bride may have been murdered.
Belgian Police are investigating the sudden deaths after families received calls from a sobbing woman telling them that their loved one had died.
The victims - who didn't know each other - all flew to Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon, to meet a dark African beauty.
Capital plan: Yaounde in Cameroon was the destination for the ten men now at the centre of the Belgian murder investigation
They gave up their lives in Belgium to marry her after forming an attachment to her over the net.
But shortly after their departure for the African country families received a phone call from Cameroon informing them that their missing relative had suddenly died from a mysterious illness.
Belgian prosecutors suspect that the lovelorn Belgians were tricked out of the money they had brought to start a new life in Africa with their 'brides' and then poisoned by a gang of fraudsters.
One of the victims was named yesterday as 30 year-old Mikael Pietquin from Brussels who vanished after falling in love with an internet girl who has been nicknamed the African Bomb by the Belgian press.
Mikael's father has told the police that his son had phoned home before he disappeared to say that his future bride had made him eat vast quantities of a 'love plant' which was supposed to improve his performance in bed.
He said: 'We heard nothing more until the sobbing woman phoned us.
'The bride said my son was sick when he arrived in Yaounde. She claimed he lost 30 kgs in weight within a few days and took an overdose of medicine he brought from Belgium. We did not believe her.'
Another victim was reported to be a former Belgian airline pilot from Hastiere in Southern Belgium.
