Real U-turn on assizes kotmurder: the accused confesses the facts after 4.5 years

“I always lied to everyone”

That’s how it sounded just before the public prosecutor’s requisitory. At the start of the session, Musawi remained standing. “It’s been a tough week. I’ve done everything they say. I have no excuses for that. I’ve always lied to everyone. Until today. I didn’t mean to hurt my mom. I can’t do it anymore. I’m so sorry I wasn’t myself that day. I’m guilty, give me my punishment,” the accused sobbed.

“I Was in Love”

It does indeed take courage to stand up today in those circumstances,” responded chairman Vincent Vereecke. Promptly, the chairman also started to question the accused again about the facts. For example, he asked what exactly went wrong with Youlia that night. “I was in love . I had asked to still be together, but she didn’t want that anymore. She said I no longer existed.”

At that time, Musawi did not yet know that Soboleva was in contact with Nessar Jamshidi again. He only discovered this when he followed his ex-girlfriend to the Vlaskot in Kortrijk. The accused said he tried to beg Youlia a few more times in vain for a second chance. In his bed, he finally decided to take Soboleva’s life.

The session was adjourned around 1:20 p.m. due to the strong emotions of Musawi and his mother.

“Surprised”

“I am surprised,” prosecutor Serge Malefasson said in his opening statement. “Justice and police got all the shit on them. We didn’t do this right, we would have made mistakes. Well sir, you should have crossed the bridge much earlier. 43 stitches and cuts: there is only 1 conclusion. If you hadn’t, we wouldn’t be here and it won’t bring the victims back.”

The defense also reacted to the sudden turn this afternoon. “We are as surprised as the rest. “We have heard honest confession.
We have nothing left in our hands. It was a warm honest moment.”
