On December 5, in an apartment in Marchienne-au-Pont, the police are required. A scene of extreme violence has just occurred at the home of Myriam (assumed name): according to her, Hallouch tried to kill her.
His ex-companion was armed with a kitchen knife with a 20 centimeter blade in one hand and a 17 centimeter chopper in the other. Totally drunk, Hallouch entered the apartment, then went to the bedroom to have sex, which the victim refused, in particular because they have been separated for more than a year. …
“I want my dad to go to prison”, the chilling testimony of the children
On the ground, the victim manages to push back his attacker who targets his abdomen with his dangerous weapons. Two of the couple’s children, aged 7 and 9, are awakened and bravely intervene. “They saw their dad trying to kill their mother. Despite their young age, they tried to disarm their father”confirms Me Brison, civil party and lawyer for Myriam.
The testimony of the children is chilling: the 7-year-old son mimics his father’s actions and the 9-year-old girl wants to see her dad go to prison. “I want my dad to go to jail. He really wanted to kill her”insists the child.
Hallouch disputes… but has no memory
Prosecuted for attempted murder, Hallouch disputes the facts. He never hit his wife or his children, he says. But the 60-year-old also admits to having no memory of the scene. “All I remember is waking up on the floor. I was bleeding in the head and also got hit in the lower back. I was woken up by the screams of children. I thought I was the victim, so I left”explains the defendant to the court.
A break not accepted: “he does not understand that she is not his property”
For the prosecution and the civil party, this is indeed an attempted murder involving an ex-companion under the influence of her ex-companion since the couple’s separation in September 2021. Evidenced by a previous scene of beatings accused of Hallouch, a month before the attempted murder. Again, the ex-boyfriend imposed himself on the home of his ex. “Here too, she had refused a sexual relationship with the drunken defendant. What he does not understand is that she is not his property”says the civil party.
“Each drama reminds us of the urgency to act”: here’s what the next Belgian law on feminicides will change
Substitute Malorgio considers that the defendant never really accepted the separation and that we barely missed a new feminicide. A 6-year prison sentence is required once morest Hallouch, only known for a history of gouging.
In the defense, Me Vander Eyden pleads a probationary reprieve for a scene of assault and not an attempted murder. If his client was at the victim’s home, “It was with his consent.”
Judgment at the end of June.
