That day, around 9 p.m., if a certain Mohamed came from Brussels to Stavelot, it was to take delivery of a large batch of cannabis, 350 grams! This is because his supplier, Dylan (27 years old), cannot travel because he is detained under an electronic bracelet. But at the moment of the transaction, Mohamed, armed with the precious bag, disappears at full speed without paying anything, obviously. At that, Dylan and two other cronies set off after him, one of them catching up with him and tackling him to the ground. A scuffle ensues after which Dylan recovers the bag and the three men flee, leaving Mohamed bloodied on the sidewalk, seriously injured to the point that he has to be evacuated by helicopter to the Citadel. His life is in danger because he has a punctured lung and has five knife wounds on his back and chest.
He only recovered his property
The investigation makes it possible to identify the three men, Dylan who is suspected of being the author of the stabbings, as well as his associates Sacha (22 years old) and Maxime (22 years old) who therefore appear in court, Dylan being detained. All three are being prosecuted for attempted murder, Dylan as perpetrator, the other two as co-perpetrators. But Dylan, admitting to being an intermediary in the supply of drugs, denies having carried out the stabbings. He said he arrived last on the fugitives, saw the other two on Mohamed, got the bag and slipped away without striking a single blow.
The trouble for him is that Maxime clearly heard a phone call made by Dylan to Sacha where the first said he had been stupid by stabbing Mohamed five times, and that he had been evacuated by helicopter . He also has a cut on his finger, which he did not have just before the meeting. Finally, blood was found on his shoes.
Sacha, who admits to being Dylan’s supplier (600 grams of cannabis were found in his home, which is no small thing), and Maxime both have the same version: they caught up with Mohamed, tackled him to the ground , while Dylan retrieved the bag, then they dug in. They saw no knife, no wounds, no blood, except on the eyebrow, probably due to the fall.
The intent to kill is clear
For Me Garot, civil party, the intention to kill is clear on the part of the three men, the other two providing assistance without which the attempted murder perpetrated by Dylan could not have taken place, which is considered to be co-authors. On the other hand, Ms. Wéry, public prosecutor, does not consider Sacha and Maxime as co-perpetrators, and requests their conviction for assault and battery to two years in prison if the victim’s incapacity for work of more than 4 months is confirmed. For Dylan, who is accused by everyone, she is asking for 5 years in prison. “He didn’t cut his finger when he fell on a scooter, after all!”
Judgment in 15 days.
