Family of victims of fatal accident in Temse outraged after release of driver: “A slap in the face”

The decision of the public prosecutor's office to release B.M., a 25-year-old construction worker from Kruibeke, is a hard blow to the family of the four fatal victims of the serious traffic accident in Elversele. M. drove his Mercedes head-on into a BMW, the four occupants of which, two women and the sisters Malak (5) and Mila (1), died at the scene.

A court hearing on the appeal of the parole board's decision to reduce the sentence of a psychologist who sexually harassed two female patients has caused a stir, bringing dozens of protesters to protest against the option for his early release. "The decision to release him sends a message to the victims that there is no one to look after them, not even in the treatment room."
