demorgen.be (Dutch)

A woman is on trial for allegedly torturing and imprisoning her husband in a dog kennel for months. Prosecutors are seeking an eight-year prison sentence. The man escaped in March, severely injured and emaciated, seeking help from neighbors. He had been subjected to physical abuse, forced to clean up dog waste with corrosive chemicals, and scalded with boiling water. The wife claims her husband was depressed and self-harming, but evidence includes surveillance footage she recorded. The victim is seeking damages, and a verdict is expected in January.
