Belgian Wife Admits Abusing Husband Kept With 60 Chihuahuas in Ongoing Trial

Prosecutors are seeking an eight-year prison sentence, with a verdict expected in January.

Overview

  • Investigators say videos on the defendant’s phone show her mocking and humiliating the victim.
  • Prosecutors allege unlawful confinement, including locking him in a kennel or cellar and restricting his movement.
  • The man escaped on March 18, reaching neighbors nearly naked and injured, which led to police involvement.
  • Alleged assaults include beatings with household objects and scalding with boiling water after two dogs died.
  • Authorities removed about 60 dogs to shelters as the case advanced, and reports describe the victim as isolated and vulnerable.
