The crime is horrible. The driver of the car, Alain, remains on site. He appears haggard, according to witnesses. He is taken to the police station and appears elsewhere. He can’t explain his crazy action. At his house, during the search, the police discover strange books, which suggest that he is acting.
Trouble mental
The investigating judge orders several mental assessments. A panel of experts believes that he is not responsible for his actions, as he was truly suffering from a mental disorder at the time of the events. As we exclusively announced a few weeks ago, the council chamber ordered the internment of the accused. He will therefore not be tried by the Assize Court, to the great dismay of Maria Garcia’s relatives.
Alain B was a sworn translator at the Court of Cassation. He had been suspended from his duties and continued to receive his salary. The fifty-year-old was a man with no history, he had a clean criminal record. However, it seems that he was no longer in his normal state after his breakup with Maria Garcia, sinking into depression.
Maria Garcia had worked for twenty years at the CPAS in Frameries where she was very appreciated. She was sixty years old. She was the fifteenth victim of femicide that year.
