lse Uyttersprot was killed on the night of August 3 to 4, 2020. Her body was found at the home of the suspect, who presented himself to the police on August 4 in the morning. The man had been in a relationship with the victim for several months. He explained to the police that he hit the victim on the head with a hammer.
The autopsy revealed that the death was due to severe head trauma caused by half a dozen blows. Jurgen Demesmaeker claims not to have premeditated his act.
He explained to the investigators to suffer from depression, to know financial problems and that these worries were exacerbated by the pandemic of Covid-19. He had been in a relationship since May 11 with Ilse Uyttersprot, whom he had met four years earlier at the carnival in Aalst.
According to psychiatrists, the suspect is responsible for his actions. He was returned to the assizes by a judgment of the Ghent indictment chamber last October.
