Crevits about nursing home murders: “Services were not informed”
“Compassion to family, residents and employees of residential care center in Oostrozebeke,” Flemish Minister of Welfare Hilde Crevits said on Twitter.
Inspection planned
The facts would have taken place at the beginning of July 2020 in residential care center de Rozenberg in Oostrozebeke. The news only came to light two years later through an investigation by VTM Nieuws. But according to Crevits, her services were not aware of the facts.
“We are taking action: an inspection is planned immediately,” the minister said. (Read more below the tweet.)
