The wife of a top executive at Goodyear Europe was stabbed to death during a robbery earlier this month in Brussels, with a manhunt for the perpetrator ongoing.
The robber attacked the woman, aged 61, at the front door of the couple’s apartment in the district of Woluwe-Saint-Pierre on 17 March, the Belgian newspaper [_Nieuwsblad_](https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20250328_96964793) reported on Saturday. Before fleeing, the perpetrator is said to have taken watches and jewellery worth tens of thousands of euros.
According to the details released by Belgian authorities, the woman’s husband was not at home at the time and found her lying on the floor when he arrived. She had reportedly been stabbed four times. The husband immediately called emergency services, but help arrived too late to save her.
The manager and his wife are both originally from the US. Since 2017, the man had been responsible for all branches of the tyre manufacturer in Europe - including the firm’s premises in Luxembourg - as well as Asia and Africa, but has since resigned from his position “for personal reasons”, according to the report in _Nieuwsblad._
