A Belgian man appeared in court on Friday after a woman at his dinner party found the bodies of his wife and stepson in the freezer as she put away the leftovers, prosecutors said.

The woman went to the police after discovering the 46-year-old woman and her 11-year-old son and officers arrested the man in the town of Verviers, near Liege in east Belgium, on Wednesday.

"She went to the freezer and that is what she saw. She then alerted the police," said Georges Lahaye of the local public prosecutors' office. Prosecutors want the suspect, aged 43, to be remanded in custody to allow more time for an investigation into the deaths.

Lahaye said the suspect had not made a confession. He added that the couple argued a lot.

He should have had them out defrosting otherwise the guests would have been waiting for ages for dessert. :rolleyes:

Seriously though, I can't understand why he let the woman go down there? Unless he wanted to be caught?

He must have either not cared or wanted to get caught.

To be fair its and easy mistake to make, he probably just forgot she was there. I have been digging around the bottom of my chest freezer in the past and found a old bag of oven chips and a tub of ice-cream that must have been there for years.
