This file has already been presented to you in our columns. A couple was prosecuted for threats. Four shots were fired in the direction of a house in Waterloo. At eye level, the ballistics expert had said. This led to the conviction of the prosecutor. We wanted to kill with premeditation. And, according to him, we therefore start on an assassination attempt for which the scale of penalties is different, as we can imagine.
We are in Waterloo on June 7, 2020. Marie-Jeanne B. was awakened at 2:20 a.m. by four shots fired in the direction of her home. Mandated by the Nivelles prosecutor’s office, the ballistics expert will be formal. The shots are horizontal, which means that the shooter was standing and shot at eye level.
Two bullets crashed once morest the facade, the third went through a window and stuck in an interior door, the fourth went to nest in a staircase following having made a hole in the front door.
Shots and a hundred videos: threats or attempted assassination, in Waterloo?
62 videos of death threats
Marie-Jeanne B. will not hide her suspicions. The author can only be Nico B. who sent him 62 videos of death threats, 14 more than his nephew Jimmy.
She also puts the investigators on the trail of Sandrine, who is Nico’s partner and the owner of a VW Polo. This is timely for the sleuths. This car was spotted at 2:18 a.m. along the chaussée Bara and it will be spotted at 3:10 a.m. in Braine-le-Château on the ring road in the direction of Brussels. The double conviction is reinforced insofar as the couple, who live in the Ath region, came the day before to celebrate the birthday of a parent in Tubize.
Nico B. is questioned. He cannot explain how his mobile phone was able to block antennas in the west of Walloon Brabant that night.
In the current state of the case, that is to say if the court ruled on the threats, the organ of the prosecution requested five years in prison for Nico B. and “at least” two years, possibly suspended, for Sandrine D. If the court opts for attempted murder, it should refer the case to a chamber of three judges.
That’s what he decided. We move away from the defendants’ lawyer who had evacuated the hypothesis of an assassination attempt because the occupants of the targeted dwelling sleep upstairs or at the back…
