The death of a boy was caused by severe abuse and his body was disposed of by placing it inside a sports bag with stones and thrown into the water. The abuse was characterized by using a belt to hit and punching the boy in his face while being doused with either hot water or ice. This unfortunate incident led to the boy’s death, but instead of calling emergency services, the mother and her friend hid the boy’s body. For several months, the boy’s body was submerged in the water.
Though the alleged murder happened at the start of the year, they were able to conceal the incident for several months. It was until the mother sent a text message containing the incident to an uncle in the Romanian family that the case was reported to the police. The uncle, concerned about the message, notified the police and traveled from Germany to Belgium to report the incidence.
The police questioned the victim’s mother and sister, and a statement made by the sister, who was 11 years old, led the police to the location where the body was dumped. With the aid of specialized teams, the body was discovered using sonar searches. Though the mother confirmed the facts, she minimized her role, leading to her arrest by the investigation judge on the suspicion of battery and disposing of the body. The ex-boyfriend got away and is still on the run, according to the Newspaper. The police is making efforts to track him down.
