After a discussion that would have gone badly in the residence of his father and his stepmother, Mr Nicolas Ullens de Schooten would have been asked to leave the premises because his father and his stepmother had to leave. He would have waited for the exit of the vehicle piloted by his mother-in-law in which his father was the front passenger.

When the vehicle arrived, he allegedly hit it with his own car and then got out and fired several times in the direction of Mrs. Myriam Lechien. According to the findings on the spot, the suspect would have fired 6 times. He must appear this Monday, April 3 before the council chamber of the Walloon Brabant court of first instance, which must rule on the confirmation and extension of the preventive detention.
