Jurgen Bakelants is indeed guilty of the robbery murder of Raymond Vantournhout. The 12-member jury decided this on Thursday evening after a deliberation of more than 4 hours. With that judgment, Bakelants now risks a life sentence. Johan Vangenechten, who is defending Bakelants, had hoped for a different decision this afternoon. “I absolutely do not believe that our client intended to kill Raymond Vantournhout.”
