Was a refused handshake the reason for the shooting in Ostend? “Perpetrator winked and smiled at his arrest” | Ostend

A brutal shooting startled the center of Ostend at the beginning of this year. Not a settlement between gangs or a robbery in the drug environment, but the result of a banal incident, according to the public prosecutor’s office. “The perpetrator had refused to shake hands with the victim, after which the latter smashed a window of his car,” said the prosecutor. Striking: both families tried to settle the matter “amicably”. In vain, because shooter Ledion T. (21) now risks 8 years in prison for attempted murder.
