With the reconstruction, the court wants to gain more clarity about what exactly happened in the homes of the three victims, but it must also provide more clarity about the motive. The fact is that the perpetrator had only just been convicted for domestic violence about a year ago. There was also a contact ban with his family. So he ignored that on September 21, 2025.
He first stabbed his 45-year-old wife to death, and then two acquaintances with whom he allegedly had a conflict in the past. He was arrested late that evening at Izegem station.
Due to the magnitude of the facts, the reconstruction cannot be completed in one day. A reconstruction is also planned later.
