In February 2024, Olivier was brought to the door of his partner by his partner, with whom he lived for two years in Chimay. She criticizes him for drinking alcohol and smoking cannabis, which often makes him very violent.
On the 16th, Olivier spent the day fishing with his friend Julien. It is late and he asks his ex-partner if he can spend the night with her. She refuses. Olivier does not bother. A few minutes later, he is in front of her house.
A sigh in the window
She always refuses to go home. Angry, Olivier seizes a sigh he swings in the neighbor’s window. The ex-partner calls Julien, he may be able to reason with Olivier. However, he spent the day Picole with Olivier, and he is as fresh as him.
When Olivier sees Julien, he no longer sees in him his best friend, but his rival in love. He is convinced that Julien took his place. A fight breaks out. The young woman leaves her house by holding a golf club in hand. She finds that the two men are no longer fighting, but that Julien is moving away, folded in half of pain.
She notices that Olivier holds his opinel knife in her hand. “”I stabbed her“, He said. In the meantime, the neighbor called the police and the emergency services. Julien presents three wounds: at the top of the shoulder, in the back and on the left side. In his report, the medical examiner mentions superficial wounds with a centimeter. No vital organ has been touched, but each of the three shots was potentially fatal.
Detained until 2029
Olivier fled. The police find him forty-eight hours later, while he hides in a wood. “”My ex is a whore, I just plant my best friend for her mouth“She said.
For the general prosecutor’s office, on appeal, the sentence of seven years in prison must be confirmed in the degree of appeal. Questioned by the president of the court, Olivier declares : “I don’t know what took me, I had consumed cocaine that day“, He said. Probably to better fish the carp.
On appeal, Me Mélissa Vervaeke disputes the intention of homicide and pleads a requalification in assault or injuries, within the meaning of article 399 of the penal code, that is with incapacity for work of less than four months.
The citizen of Flénu is detained until 2029.
