2023-08-21 18:38:06

Last Friday, a young man was shot dead in Oupeye by a policeman. The victim had refused to obey a check before hitting and crushing a police officer with the quad he was driving. The latter’s colleague then opened fire twice, hitting the fugitive in the head through his helmet. The two agents have not yet been heard by the courts, but their lawyer spoke at the microphone of RTL-info.

The lawyer speaks of a trauma for the two police officers. “The first policeman is physically heavily injured,” explains Maitre Renaud Molders-Pierre. “It’s not easy for him. The policeman who fired is extremely psychologically affected. I think everyone can understand it. Many lives were destroyed in this tragic affair. »
