Young man suspected of shooting in Roeselare referred to assizes for murder

That has been decided by the Ghent Chamber of Indictments.

The facts happened on February 25, 2020 in the Weststraat in Roeselare. The 20-year-old man Agach M. was then shot dead in what appeared to be a rip-deal that got out of hand. Four suspects were arrested, all of them young men who were present at the time of the offenses. The man who fired the shot, the now 22-year-old Sacha B. from Roeselare, has been referred to the court of assizes of West Flanders for murder. This means that premeditation is assumed, but the jury will ultimately have to decide on the qualification. The trial is expected to take place after the judicial leave.
