The assize court trial in Tongeren concerning a baby murder has been halted again after a request to recusal the case. Last weekend, the trial took a bizarre turn when the accused woman suddenly gave birth. No one at the trial was aware of her new pregnancy. "We didn't file the recusal request to obtain a postponement; it's about our client's rights," her lawyers stated.
