Earlier today, witnesses described what they saw that morning, and it did not appeal to the imagination.
“I approached a car that was parked just in front of the bridge in Aalbeke. A woman got out. Her hands were tied together and her mouth was taped.”
The story told by Jill’s mother is one of great horror, and a chronicle of foretold death.
“At the end she was terrified. That they were seen in the city, walking hand in hand. That is unacceptable. He must have grabbed her hand. Jill was not a hugger.”
The defense has already announced that it wants to add some nuance to this process. The fact is that the Kortrijk native eventually slit his ex’s throat in her car. The perpetrator already has a criminal record and now risks life imprisonment.
