Shortly before 7 p.m., the emergency services were called for a knife attack. The victim, an 18-year-old young man from Namur, lost his life. Some sources refer to a fatal blow in the thoracic region.
The police, including members of the special intervention group (GIS), descended on the scene in large numbers. The two entrances to the Wérenne gallery, the link between the Carmes district and the Place de la Station have been sealed off. White tarpaulins were installed at number 29 to block the view of the many passers-by who gathered with haggard faces. What happened ? The judicial inquiry will have to determine it.
At the time of writing these lines, the Namur prosecutor’s office announced the holding of a press conference on Thursday evening.
