Hamois: shots towards the home of his ex
The facts occurred following a breakup with a young woman. They lived as a couple between 2012 and January 8, 2018. The breakup did not go smoothly.
Mike tried several times to reconnect with the woman, sometimes using violence or threats.
On February 18, 2018, the atmosphere became even more tense between the parties.
A mad chase in the streets of Liège for a stolen license plate
It is in a way the “winning combo” which earned this inhabitant of Saint-Nicolas to find himself, Thursday morning, at the Liège courthouse. Indeed, the day before, the man had accumulated bad choices to the point of putting his life and that of other road users in danger.
It all started on Wednesday around 4:30 p.m. when a police patrol in the Secova area noticed the suspicious ride of the passenger of a car stopped on fire in the red phase in Chaudfontaine.
He had stolen a vehicle from the City of Huy to commit a theft in Amay
In April 2019, a Liégeois born in 1978 “borrowed” a Trafic minibus belonging to the City of Huy (he would have found the keys on the ground, next to the vehicle). He used it to commit a burglary in a store in Amay: many bottles of alcohol and tobacco.
Sentenced to 12 months in prison because he had not appeared at the first hearing, he came to explain himself to the judge on Thursday.
Mom sentenced to 4 months in prison for throwing book at son
The Brussels Criminal Court on Monday sentenced a woman who slightly injured her son during an argument at home about homework, Belga learned from a good source. The defendant lost patience and threw a book in the direction of her 12-year-old son, which caused a scrape on her knee.
The court considered that the facts were of a “certain gravity” and that they revealed “a real dysfunction in the relationship between mother and son”.
Houdemont: he strikes and sequesters his neighbor
The peaceful village of Houdemont (Habay) is experiencing a terrible neighborhood dispute between two men who obviously will not spend their holidays together. On one side, a young farmer living in a caravan, on the other a solid fifty-something.
The two men live fifty meters apart.
Fired from the court which was to try him for armed rebellion in the Mouscron region
Stéphane (assumed name), 57, was not present at the helm. His lawyer represented him and advised him not to come. It must be said that during the previous hearing, in September, he behaved badly in court and was asked to leave the room.
On May 6, 2021, he notably hit police vehicles.
Diminished by a stroke, the Frenchman denies the drug trafficking committed in Comines
Djibril (assumed first name) arrived diminished at the helm. And for good reason. His lawyer explains that he suffered a stroke. He no longer remembers the charges against him. Evil tongues will say that it is a mode of defense like any other.
In conclusion, these news stories highlight the various forms of conflict and tension that can arise between individuals. From domestic disputes to neighborhood feuds, and criminal activities such as theft, violent behavior, and drug trafficking, these incidents remind us of the importance of seeking peaceful and respectful resolutions. May we all strive to resolve conflicts in a constructive and non-violent manner, with a focus on understanding and empathy towards others.
