Els Clottemans has been charged with murder after her lover's secret girlfriend and fellow skydiver fell 13,000ft to her death  Allegedly Els sabotaged her friend's parachute after discovering her boyfriend's betrayal.   


Els Van Doren, 37, fell to her gruesome death in a garden in front of a group of onlookers. Els Clottemans, the scorned woman, 22, has been charged with her murder.

According to Reuters, the pair had joined hands in a star formation with two other skydivers including Els Clottemans’s boyfriend, a Dutchman named only as Marcel, who police say was having an affair with Els Van Doren.

When he and Els Clottemans broke away at 4,000ft when their parachutes were opened up, Els Van Doren, a mother of two, was unable to open either her main parachute or the reserve and crashed to her death in the town of Opglabbeek, Belgium.

All of this horror was captured on her own head-mounted camera.

According to reports in Le Soir, witness Wally Elters stated: “I was working on my plane when I heard someone on the ground screaming and pointing to the sky.

“I looked up and saw a black spot falling quickly to the ground. It was wriggling about and it was pretty obvious it was a person.

“Above it were three people in parachutes coming down slowly. Then it hit the ground. It was an appalling moment.”

A police spokesman said: “A close inspection of the parachutes leads us to believe they had been meddled with.”

Reuters reported that an employee at the airfield in Zwarteberg added: “It is very rare for one parachute not to open, but for two to fail is virtually unheard of.”

Els Van Doren’s funeral was not an easy affair, with Els sister's bitter eulogy. “You did all you could during that final jump to save yourself,” she was quoted as saying in the Belgian press. “But someone did not want you to live.”

Els Clottemans has subsequently been arrested and charged after a two-month investigation. Police became suspicious of Clottemans after discovering the affair between Els Van Doren and Marcel. All three had skydived togther for years.  She denies the allegations but is being held in custody.

Police have also disclosed to media sources that Els Clottemans has a sketchy past, and was arrested for attempting to run over a previous American boyfriend. He escaped injury and she was released without charge.

The Belgian press outlined Marcel's "Els" maneuverings, scheduling his love trysts so that neither woman found out about the other.

"In the afternoon, he would meet Mrs Van Doren after she had spent the morning working in her husband’s jewellery shop. Their relationship had begun some years earlier and the two would spend the night in nearby Eindhoven, before returning to the skydiving club the next day," reported Le Soir.
The unstable Els found out despite his crafty deceptions.

A statement from the public prosecutor said: “A thorough investigation of the available evidence and analysis of the motive provide sufficient reason for arresting the suspect. The investigating magistrate charged her with murder, issued an arrest warrant and had her locked up in Hasselt prison.

“In order not to jeopardize the smooth running of the investigation, no further information will be supplied. As has already been suggested in the media, the motive for the crime is most probably in the passionate area. The accused denies the charges.”
