On the second day of the trial against Kim De Brabanter before the court of assizes of Flemish Brabant in Leuven, the jury was confronted head-on with the assault on Liselotte De Coninck on Tuesday. “The visible injuries had even given her an Asian appearance,” said Wouter Van Den Bogaert. The law doctor stated that the accused does not suffer from memory disorders.

Kim De Brabanter (40) is accused of murdering Liselotte De Coninck in his home in Ternat on November 5, 2017. The 32-year-old victim was killed in various forms of violence. The first date with the trucker was fatal.
During the interrogation on the opening day, chairwoman Veerle Aelbrecht had done her utmost to persuade the accused to make statements about the violence. But De Brabanter only remembered that one headbutt. Much to the chairman’s understandable frustration. “We want to know why you used so much violence. She was already knocked out after that first headbutt. ”
Violence
The testimonies of the police and the law doctor did not provide an answer to that question after a day’s delay, but painfully revealed how much violence De Coninck had to endure. The suspected perpetrator used various forms of violence. Even more than at the start of the process, the Brabanter is in very tight shoes. There was no one else in his house, which was hermetically sealed.
The accused himself invoked amnesia during his interrogation. In the anamnesis of his medical examination of De Brabanter, the law doctor found no memory disorders.
