Sometimes you must think life really hates you :
This weekend, a 36-year-old patient escaped from a psychiatric facility in Marseille, in the Bouches du Rhône.
In his escape, Hilaire traveled more than 1,000 km and stopped on Sunday evening in the parking lot of the E19 motorway in Ruisbroek, Belgium, and checked into a room at the Best Western for the night.
The next morning, he wandered the halls naked and slaughtered the maid with a fire extinguisher in the head after hearing voices ordering him to kill her.
The 33-year-old victim succumbed to his injuries on the spot. Her name was Xhuljeta.
The parents of the victim were shot dead in 2002 in Albania, his country of origin, by a young man. The girl, then 14, had witnessed their murder after hiding under the bed.
One of Xhuljeta's sisters was injured in the shooting.
After the killing, the children fled Albania and took refuge in Greece before settling in Belgium. Xhuljeta had been working at this hotel for 5 years.
Since his arrest, the suspect has walled in silence. It is not known how he escaped from his psychiatric hospital in Marseille and ended up in Belgium despite the border closures for “non-essential travel” due to the Covid.
He is due to appear before the investigating judge on Wednesday.
