Death
Gadenne was murdered on 11 September 2017 at the age of 71. He was killed at a municipal graveyard close to his home in Mouscron by Nathan Duponcheel.[1] Local news outlets at first reported that a suspect handed himself in to police and that the motive was unclear.[2] The next day the then 18-year-old man told police he killed Gadenne to avenge the death of his father, who committed suicide in 2015 after losing his job as a local council employee.[3]
