Skydiver on trial over love rival’s fatal plunge

A SKYDIVER accused of killing her love rival by sabotaging her parachute went on trial in Belgium yesterday.

Prosecutors said jealousy drove Els Clottemans to kill Els Van Doren four years ago, with whom she shared a passion for skydiving and a lover.

Clottemans, 26, has vehemently denied the murder charges and accusations that she killed Van Doren to have the lover, another Dutch skydiver, to herself.
