The Vandeput, 54, worked for Goodyear for more than a decade. Delaney was with the tire company since 2017. Carmel, 61, was found stabbed to death during a burglary inside her upscale Brussels-area apartment on March 17, reported the Brussels Times . Belgian police said security camera footage revealed the victim arrived home at 8 p.m. She was met by masked men who reportedly threatened her to open the door to gain access to the apartment. According to investigators, she was stabbed four times inside the unit and left for dead. Police said three watches and jewelry worth tens of thousands of euros were stolen from the home. However, surveillance video also captured a person who was wearing a mask entering the building shortly before the victim arrived home that evening. Since the couple didn't speak French, Delaney called his assistant first so that she could relay the attack to police, the report said. While it first appeared to authorities that they were dealing with a murder due to a botched robbery, investigators soon learned that Delaney and Vandeput were having an affair. Cops said a friend of Vandeput had a conversation with the pair and had concerns. That tip led police to launch an investigation and search Vandeput's home and horse stable. Investigators found the stolen watches behind a corrugated metal shed in a paddock, the report said. Goodyear said in a statement that it would co-operate with the investigation if asked. 'We decline to comment further,' the company told the Journal , adding Delaney didn't receive a severance package after being terminated.
