The council chamber must decide whether to continue his preventive detention, but at the request of the defense, the case was postponed until November 8. According to the federal prosecutor’s office, the man might be linked to the weapon used during the attack, which his lawyer contradicts.
The man, Lamjed K., born in 1979, was arrested last Wednesday during a search of a house in Tervuren, and placed under arrest the next day for murder and attempted murder in a terrorist context, and participation in the activities of a terrorist organization. The man allegedly exchanged photos of an AR-15, the weapon used in the attack, with Abdesalem Lassoued, the perpetrator of the shooting, and also transmitted coded contacts.
