But the defendant does not accept the decision. “We are appealing,” Dimitri de Beco, one of Nicolas Ullens’ two lawyers, told us, along with Jean-Philippe Mainz. The rest will therefore be played out in Brussels before the indictment chamber where his lawyers will be able to plead his case once more within 15 days.
Aged 57, Nicolas Ullens de Schooten is suspected of having killed his septuagenarian mother-in-law, Baroness Myriam Ullens, born Myriam Lechien, wife of Baron Guy de Ullens de Schooten. He is suspected of having killed her with a firearm on Wednesday March 29 in Ohain, in the Walloon Brabant entity of Lasne, in front of her father’s property. That morning, Nicolas Ullens had visited his father and Myriam, called “Mimi”, the second wife of Baron Guy Ullens. He blamed her for having wreaked havoc in the family and destroying the family fortune. After leaving the villa, he waited for the couple to leave in the car and fired six shots from his pistol. Five shots hit “Mimi”.

“The risk of repeat offenses does not hold water,” comments lawyer Jean-Philippe Mayence. “My client killed in a particular context that will not happen once more.” And the lawyer recalls that “electronic surveillance is not a release. It is always a regime of detention, of deprivation of liberty. the law on preventive detention (Editor’s note; before a judgment) is also very clear. The electronic bracelet should be preferred. “
Jean-Philippe Mayence also confirms to us that the psychiatric expertise “does not work to the disadvantage of his client”, without giving more details “to preserve the secrecy of the investigation.”
Finally, the lawyer wonders if there is not a desire to maintain Nicolas Ullens “for fear of offending public opinion”, putting forward the hypothesis that Justice does not want to give the impression of favoring a class , in this case a defendant from the nobility.
Nicolas Ullens’ lawyers had already appealed on July 24 when the council chambers had also refused the electronic bracelet. The indictment chamber dismissed them on August 4.
