Suspects remain in jail for attempted murder in Blankenberge
The appearance of the third suspect was postponed to Friday at the request of the defense. The victim was hit with a hockey stick and is still critical ten days after the facts.
In the night from Saturday 26 to Sunday 27 November, a 31-year-old Slovakian, together with another man, caused a nuisance in dance café Circosia in Blankenberge. The duo was taken out by two staff members, but the victim reappeared moments later. When he had to leave the business again, he would have pulled out a knife outside. Porter HA (38) sustained an injury to his hand. He then fetched a hockey stick and a wooden beam, which he handed over to waiter SV (29).
Hockey stick
At some point the Slovak must have run away. He was not only chased by the two employees of the dance bar, but also by a customer who happened to be smoking there. KS (34) knocked the victim down by doing a paw patch. A little further on, he received heavy blows to the head, including with a hockey stick. The victim was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition. Almost a week later, his condition is still critical.
