Jurgen D. reported to the police of Aalst on Tuesday morning that he had killed Aalst ships and former mayor Ilse Uyttersprot (53). In the house in Meuleschettestraat, the police found the lifeless body of the CD&V politician who had died in suspicious circumstances. According to the public prosecutor’s office, the facts fit in the relational sphere.

The lab, the legal physician, the examining magistrate, the public prosecutor’s office and the public prosecutor’s office came to the site for trace investigations. The federal judicial police (FGP) dismissal team conducting the investigation also came to the scene.

The man who has been before convicted of intimate partner violence, was arrested and interrogated by the FGP. On Tuesday evening, just before six o’clock, the interrogation was closed, but it was also decided not to bring the man to the investigating judge in Dendermonde that day. That happened on Wednesday afternoon at 1 p.m.

After several hours of interrogation, the investigating judge decided to arrest the man on suspicion of murder. “Given the secret of the investigation, no further information about the case will be released,” said the prosecutor’s spokeswoman.

“He just lost the north”

According to his lawyer, he would not have acted with intent. “He knows his life is over. But although he is arrested for murder, we see no premeditation. He had lost the north for a while and wished he could turn back the clock, ‘says lawyer Krist’l De Paepe.

According to her, there was no question of a relationship breakdown between Jurgen D. and Ilse Uyttersprot. They had relational problems and went to the psychiatrist together. “His plugs have blown. We and he don’t know what was going on in his head at the time. We do know that he had some problems and also had a hard time with the lockdown. They went to the psychiatrist together last week. ”

Jurgen D. would have had less work due to the lockdown, which made him depressed. Ilse wanted to solve that by going to the psychiatrist together.

According to De Paepe, the man is now very calm and resigned, and he does not really realize what happened. She does confirm that he must be treated. The stories that circulate about a possible suicide attempt last night deny his lawyer, but she says she fears for the coming days. “It’s so deep that I fear it for the next few days.”
