Belgian skydiver who killed love rival to be sentenced
A Belgian woman convicted of murdering her fellow skydiver and love rival by sabotaging her parachute is due to be sentenced.
Els Clottemans, aged 26, faces between three years and life in prison.
On Wednesday, a jury heard how she cut key parts of the parachutes of Els Van Doren, 38, because she was jealous of her relationship with a male skydiver.
Ms Van Doren fell 1,000m (3,200ft) to her death in November 2006. Clottemans denied the charges.
The four-week trial in the north-eastern Flemish town of Tongeren (French: Tongres) gripped the nation.
