Death
Rey-Bellet was shot and killed in her parents' home in the Swiss village of Les Crosets, Canton Valais on Sunday, 30 April 2006 by her husband Gerold Stadler. She was three months pregnant. Her brother Alain, who was to have been married the following Friday, was also killed, and her mother Verena was severely injured. Corinne's two-year-old son, Kevin, home at the time of the attack, was left unharmed, and Corinne's father was not home at the time.
A warrant was issued for the arrest of her husband, Gerold Stadler. The couple had separated approximately 10 days before the murders took place. Stadler - a Swiss soldier - was the father of their two-year-old son. His body was recovered in a forest on 3 May 2006. The Swiss police eventually confirmed that Stadler committed suicide using the same gun - his military weapon - that killed Rey-Bellet and her brother.
