Murder accused sent to custody

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: The 36-year-old driver of the Belgian woman who stabbed her to death at her Vasant Vihar residence here on Saturday night was remanded to 14-day judicial custody by a court here on Monday.

The accused, Vijay Chaudhry, was employed as driver by 47-year-old Isabelle Dessoy, a secretary on contract at the Belgium Embassy, about two years ago. However, according to the police, he had become very demanding of late and would put pressure on her to do things his way. This irritated Ms. Dessoy and she threatened to sack him.

On Saturday evening when he was driving her to a dinner meeting at Greater Kailash, an argument broke out following which Ms. Dessoy got off the vehicle and took an auto-rickshaw back home. Vijay followed her and allegedly stabbed her to death with a kitchen knife.
