few months ago ...
Malvoisin The cottage, a house half-timbered and thatched roofs, beautiful but abandoned, was, since late last year, squatted by
- The Barakis!
a couple of "people from elsewhere" who had a dog named Bitchou.
One day as he had sometimes used, and to make a good surprise to his teachers, Bitchou ... rarely tied or having managed to break free of his leash and open the door , never locked, weighing all his weight on the latch ... has gone into the forest. .. at dawn, alone, in secret ... traps and
- and pick blackberries and digging potatoes in a field on the way return!
snares, catch birds, rabbits and squirrels ... and empty bowls and reverse all the neighborhood cats ... and collect kindling to start the fire and prepare breakfast for his parents ...
He never returned. The man and woman, desperate, knocked on every door, until nightfall. Nobody in the village was willing to help and
- People said it was dangerous to travel in the forest ... especially after a certain hour! It was happening, they said, so many strange things ... And disturbing characters gave it go ... And even witches were installed there ... People also said we should not let your dog hang out in freedom! And a dog, it attaches! And a door that locks! And we should not leave an animal without religion into a Christian home as he wanted and leave at will ... and prepare breakfast for his teachers and get involved in their conversation! What's that? Where did you see that? What is witchcraft? A dog, they said, it starts to chain, outside! And it does not speak to men! Except that his masters had had intercourse with the devil! Besides that name ... Bitchou, Bichon, Bout'chou Pitchou, Little Cabbage, Bitxo ... it really was not a dog name Christian, that! they said again ...
join the search ...
Thus, the peaceful village of Malvoisin would it, as its name implies , a village populated by beings inhospitable ... smelly, rude, greedy, sly and wicked, slanderous and mischievous, jealous and vindictive, bigoted and intolerant, backward, withdrawn, and sly grimacers, hostile to "foreigners" and suspicious of lunch, differences and novelties of all, never taking pity on anyone, Dry the heart, little helpers? A village cul-earth folded in on themselves ... no grocery store, bakery without, without slaughter, without
- There was no doubt before ... but their operators have preferred to clear out! They put the key under the mat and moved to Gedinne at Vencimont at Wellin at Beauraing ... or even a little further in Nassogne!
a forge, a café, a post office and a mill village ... an old, no children ... without a village communal house but with a chapel of Saint-Hilaire ... and a former school converted into a ballroom? A village in which he never did happen and where no one
- Not even a hitchhiker?
- It would come where he would go where? He would throw stones ...
- A traveling salesman, a motorist out of gas, a bailiff?
- They would shoot at the rifle from the kitchen window ...
happen by chance and that nobody could ever withdraw free ... without leaving his property and all his illusions?
We did not find the dog's body. Boars had, probably, would compete for leftovers.
After this terrible tragedy, the owners of the dog fled the village and left on the roads in search of more hospitable land ... And the cottage
Malvoisin isolated, deserted by its last inhabitants, has, overnight, been eradicated from the landscape ... Namur
Has it been razed by the technical services of the Walloon region, carried by a storm, burned by a local "identity"?
Did she leave her native village and had it installed elsewhere in the province of Luxembourg rival ... Furnace in Saint-Michel, on the road to Saint-Hubert, in the town of Nassogne?

A few months later ...
In Brussels, a brave lady was found
- Strangled by a leather cord? Suppressed by using a pillow? Was there any indication on his face signs of beatings (or the mark of a hand) suspect (s)? Her hands trembled they ever? His movements were stiff and they become uncontrollable? She was having difficulty brushing teeth and wearing a cup of coffee (or a glass of tea with honey and lemon) to his lips? She was suffering from Alzheimer's disease Alois or that of James Parkinson?
- Her husband was tired? He just wanted to wring his arm a little to make him let go of the white-hot poker which she threatened him staggering and shouting? He killed her but he did not want him too hard? It was self defense?
dead on her bed ... while her husband, an old man apparently harmless, actively sought by police, was finally spotted a few hours later, at the entrance of a cemetery
- The Jette? This cemetery would then become a tax haven for old retired ? The same one where the couple, wise and provident, had built a very elegant burial vault?
walking on the sidewalk, dragging behind him a dog leash, haggard and bewildered, missing, crooked tongue out, disheveled, looking stupid and helpless, stricken with amnesia after suffering a stroke ...
We can not explain the death of the brave lady ...
And we can not explain either the death of Anthony, the dog
- They were anxious, in Antoine (eg they had baptized ... the parish priest They were told that St. Anthony was also the patron of peasants and protector of animals ... and a dog "found" could not imagine more beautiful name)! This dog was like their child!
couple of good Christians, also discovered, lying lifeless on the marriage bed, next to the body of his mistress ... We think
- It does not strangle the dogs with their leash, anyway! We do not choke under a pillow of feathers! An autopsy is planned? Will there be ever so greedily swallowed Anthony of rat poison hidden in a ball of ground meat?
- Who are the culprits then?
- In many poor people ... people from elsewhere, no doubt!
to liver disease, poisoning food, a devilry or witchcraft ...

Bitchou's disappearance and subsequent death of Anthony ...
Both stories are they closely related? They fit, they fit together, complement each other? Are these two events nested one inside the other?
Is the episodes of a single
case?
is said that Antony would foster a dog ... It is said that
' he would, a few months earlier, lost in the forest, near and that Malvoisin ' he was rescued by a couple of walkers Brussels ...
They say that curses were uttered ...
In those days, deep in Namur, wolves anemic (from Sinkiang, Plain of Transylvania or Danakil) and bears tired (having fled Chechnya, the mountains of Afghanistan or the Balkan war) were sometimes surprised at dawn and dusk, prowling
- They sniffed, on the main road, the smell of cow dung and horse dung , pissed on the roots of beech trees and the trunks of large oaks, grazing nasturtiums, and crunched the unearthed roots of dandelions, sniffing tobacco plants, the small scented laundry to dry on the grass or hedges!
isolated houses around the village of Malvoisin near Gedinne. Nobody knew where they came from, nor

Someone (a weasel, a verger, a retired policeman ... a factor, an official census or contributions, a bailiff, a lawyer specializing in debt collection health-related ...) had probably finished
