Investigative judge Filip De Corte outlined the course of the investigation. The file went quickly to the federal police due to capacity problems at PZ Vlas. Zeryouh had difficulty with the relationship break and the loss of shelter. Possibly Braye wanted to protect her granddaughter, after the girl told them she was watching porn with Zeryouh.
