Personal Assistant Charged with Murder of Goodyear Europe Executive’s Wife

Belgian authorities allege personal motives and an extramarital relationship in the March 17 killing of Carmel Delaney.

Carmel Delaney, wife of Goodyear Europe President Chris Delaney, was found dead with multiple stab wounds in their Brussels-area apartment on March 17.
Initial investigations suggested a burglary, but the absence of forced entry and other evidence led authorities to shift focus to personal involvement.
Chris Delaney’s longtime personal assistant, employed for over 13 years, has been arrested and charged with murder and possession of a weapon used in the crime.
Reports indicate the assistant and Chris Delaney may have had an extramarital relationship, adding a layer of personal betrayal to the case.
Carmel Delaney’s body has been repatriated to the United States, where she was laid to rest, while Chris Delaney has returned to the U.S. following the incident.
