The Mons Council Chamber has decided to place the man who fatally hit a 9-year-old girl last week in Saint-Vaast, in the entity of La Louvière, under an electronic bracelet.
Initially, the 36-year-old driver fled just following the terrible accident which cost Assya his life. It was only 2 hours later that he was arrested by the police. The man has since been placed under arrest. He is monitored by an electronic bracelet, but due to a lack of bracelet availability, he remained in prison this weekend. He can now go out.

For his lawyer, there is no reason to keep him behind bars. In question ? The purely and simply accidental nature of the drama.
However, there are elements working once morest this man: recidivism. He indeed has a long past behind the wheel. This driver is already known for several driving incidents. It has already been subject to license withdrawals.
According to his lawyer, the driver is “devastated, anxious and don’t understand what happened last Wednesday.” The man had not consumed any drugs or alcohol. Its speed seemed moderate, according to an initial assessment. On the other hand, the fact of having fled is an aggravating circumstance, which might cost him between 5 and 10 years in prison. It is this hit and run which raises the question in this case.
