These rumors were unfortunately confirmed to us fairly quickly: a lady jumped well from the Remouchamps viaduct in the early afternoon, with a child in her arms, a 10-month-old baby. Several people parked their vehicle and warned the emergency services but it was already too late, as the Liège prosecutor’s office confirms, warned. “”Witnesses immediately warned the emergency services, unfortunately the lady had already jumped “indicates Gilles de Villers Grand Champs, Division of Liège Division. “”This lady actually held an infant under a year in her arms and would come from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg “.
As the division prosecutor also indicates, “We are talking about murder on the child followed by suicide, which extinguishes public action “. He specifies of course: “Duties remain underway to identify the two victims and understand what exactly happened “.

A sadly famous viaduct
80 meters high (above the river), the Remouchamps viaduct is sadly known for its high suicide rate. Built in the early 1980s, as an extension of the Dryval viaduct, it spans the Amblève valley and the railway line 42, over a length of almost a kilometer.
Over time, the Remouchamps viaduct has therefore acquired a negative renown, the latter being described as “suicide viaduct”. It was in 2009 that the Walloon Region set up additional security devices, strongly hampering the possibility of jumping (grids), mainly above the ways it overlooks. We already mentioned more than 130 suicides in Remouchamps.
As we specify at SOFICO, on the 2,300 bridges of the Walloon network, “The most problematic are equipped with anti-suicide devices “. Those of Dryval and Remouchamps are part of it. “”The objective is to limit suicide attempts but also the impact on people below “. Reason why the devices are placed above private property and roads. “This is a fence high enough to prevent it from being climbed and overlooking the safety railing”.
In addition, information panels refer to the suicide prevention center.
