A Belgian priest has been arrested on drug trafficking charges after a night of sex and drugs ended in the death of a British clergyman, local authorities said on Saturday (28).
The 69-year-old man, whose name has not been revealed, was spending Thursday night with his 60-year-old Belgian partner at a clergy house in Calmthout, near Antwerp, when he felt unwell, the ministry said.
