The three accused men of the L. family want to testify about the notorious murders they are suspected of. But they are not cooperating with everything.Three suspects in the case of the two hydrochloric acid murders (in 2009 and 2011) across the border in Tudderen and Gellik, want to open up.Admittedly only if there is a reconstruction, but it is a first "rapprochement. Although not all will be cooperated.
Father Hub L.(58) was arrested in Spain after fleeing justice for six months. Upon his arrest, police found a laptop. But Hub secured the laptop pretty well. "He states that a seventy-character code was used as the password," said prosecutor David van Kuppeveld. "And that this one cannot be cracked in over a hundred years." Hub says he forgot the password. A computer program from the Netherlands Forensic Institute is working around the clock to crack the code. "You don't secure your laptop that well if you only look up nu.nl every now and then. We assume there is something very important on it," Van Kuppeveld reasoned.
Another thing Hub will not cooperate with is a personality test. He will not say a word to psychologists and psychiatrists if they want to examine him. His sons Maurice (21) and Michel (26) did cooperate recently, after they had previously digressed. The public prosecutor now wants Hub to be admitted to the Pieter Baan Center for observation. However, his lawyer Serge Weening informs him that that is of no use. "My Emil Visser client will not cooperate with that either. He will then only occupy a bed for seven weeks." However, the 58-year-old Sittarden man is willing to tell about the gun with which Mouhammed Al Jader was shot. He can provide the type of gun and cartridges, if it is decided to investigate the heating of a gun silencer, which would have caused Hub to suffer burns.
Something important investigators also found while sifting through the digital file. Taps were made of numerous phone calls,text messages and chat conversations. It now turns out that the youngest son of the L. family, Maurice (21), simply confessed to the murder of Iraqi Alan Gergeri during a chat conversation.Van Kuppeveld: "Maurcie chatted with one Jazz and in it admitted that he killed Alan Gergeri. He was also very explicit about all the gruesome details. How he slit the victim's throat and that he then smashed his skull with a pick."
Counselors Ivo van den Bergh and Wouter Smeets, of Michel L. and Ron van K., respectively, want their clients to be released immediately. In their view, there is too little evidence on the table that they cooperated in the murder of Mouhammed Al Jader. The lawyers' view is disputed by the prosecution. Today the court will decide on the release of the suspects and also on holding the requested reconstruction.
