The 16-year-old boy was already taken by the police on Friday. He was confronted with burdensome elements from the judicial investigation, and proceeded to confessions on Saturday. The Public Prosecution Service of Leuven confirms that the minor suspect has made confessions after a five -hour interrogation.
The investigation remains in the hands of the investigating judge. Given his minor, the boy has to appear before a juvenile judge on Sunday, Sarah Callewaert of the OM van Leuven confirms. Perhaps he is initially transferred to a closed institution.
The boy was initially taken care of as a victim. Now it appears that he first killed the two victims with violence, and then tried to hide his actions by founding a fire. His motive is still unclear.
Stab wounds
The two victims were discovered on Friday morning in a fire in their home in the Milsestraat. It was noted around 9.30 am. Police, fire brigade and medical emergency services immediately arrived. Around 10.20 am the fire was under control, but when searching the house, the emergency services found the lifeless body of 46-year-old L.. A second victim, her 6-year-old daughter A., was resuscitated on the spot, but died shortly thereafter.
Both victims had stab wounds, on which the OM immediately opened a judicial investigation for murder. The first investigation by the fire expert also showed that the fire in the home had been lit.
