Acrylic art on canvas - Tigra 

Wie was het Tigra-meisje?

Al sinds de jaren 50 is het iconische gezicht van de Antwerpse Angelina Saey in haar tijgerpakje het uithangbord van het sigarettenmerk Tigra, aanvankelijk geproduceerd door de Belgische tabaksgigant Vander Elst. Dat de vrouw in het pak een Belgische was, raakte pas bekend toen ze in 1979 vermoord werd.

Wie Saey op 16 maart 1979 ombracht, is nooit opgehelderd. De toen 46-jarige vrouw werd in haar villa in Brasschaat teruggevonden met een touw om haar hals, waardoor men eerst dacht aan zelfdoding. Pas later werd duidelijk dat ze vermoord was. De enige verdachte, haar jongste zoon, werd weer vrijgelaten bij gebrek aan bewijzen.

De dader zal nooit meer gestraft worden, want de moord is ondertussen verjaard.

Who was the Tigra girl?

Ever since the 1950s, the iconic face of Antwerp's Angelina Saey in her tiger suit has been the showcase of the Tigra cigarette brand, initially produced by the Belgian tobacco giant Vander Elst. That the woman in the suit was a Belgian did not become known until she was murdered in 1979. It has never been clarified who killed Saey on March 16, 1979. The then 46-year-old woman was found in her villa in Brasschaat with a rope around her neck, which initially led to thought of suicide. Only later did it become clear that she had been murdered. The only suspect, her youngest son, was released for lack of evidence. The perpetrator will never be punished again, because the murder is now time-barred.
