“Suddenly the flames rose meters high above his head.” What happened on Friday evening along the Biestebroekkaai in Anderlecht leaves a deep impression on those who saw it happen. Local residents heard shouting, saw fire and thought for a moment that it was fireworks. Seconds later they realized that a 15-year-old boy was on fire after being doused with gasoline. To save himself, he jumped into the canal. In the meantime, a 16-year-old has already been arrested and placed in a closed institution. This is what we already know about the gruesome facts.
