According to that brother, Jarod De Clerck just wanted to know what it would feel like to put someone down, although he came back to those statements later.
The next day the accused was arrested on suspicion of murder. The Tieltaar quickly made confessions, but his motive remains unclear. Jarod De Clerck and Leander Quintyn did not know each other at all. In his own words, the accused was pulled out when the victim suddenly turned around on the street.
The defense therefore asked in vain to re -qualify the facts for intentional blows and injuries, resulting in the unwanted death.
