According to first public prosecutor’s informational information, a 50 -year -old with a weapon entered around 8:30 p.m. in a cafe located on avenue d’Itterbeek, in Anderlecht. He pulled several shots on the manager. The seriously injured victim was transported to hospital in critical condition. She died shortly after her injuries.
The alleged perpetrator, a 50 -year -old man, was able to quickly arrested by the police and was deprived of freedom. According to the first elements, these would not be facts related to drug trafficking but rather an altercation between the 56 -year -old tenant and his tenant.
The Brussels prosecutor’s office was immediately informed of the facts and opened an investigation. The federal judicial police laboratory, a medical examiner and a ballistics expert made the findings. The public prosecutor also requested the appointment of an investigating judge and requested the opening of a judicial investigation for murder.
The parquet and the instructor magistrate went there on Sunday evening to supervise the first observations. Police in the Brussels-Midi zone (Anderlecht/Forest/Saint-Gilles) established a security perimeter around the coffee for the needs of the survey.
The precise circumstances of the shots are still the subject of additional investigation duties, concluded the prosecution on Monday.
