Karel Van Noppen was murdered in cold blood here. As a veterinary inspector, Karel Van Noppen had to check livestock farmers for the use of hormones. After a number of threats, he continued with his work. On February 20, 1995, his car was stopped near his home in Wechelderzande and he was shot dead with three shots.
In 1996 he was posthumously awarded the Prize for Democracy for his fight against the hormone mafia.
