Sint-Niklaas (The Brussels Morning Newspaper): A 50-year-old man stabbed his 49-year-old wife leaving her in critical condition, in a domestic violence incident on the N403 road in East Flanders. The woman is now stable and the man faces legal consequences.

It was reported that on 25th August at Sunday evening a serious stabbing happened at the couple’s home on the N403 road. A 50-year-old man attacked his 49-year-old wife, causing her serious injuries. Her wounds were so severe that she was in immediate danger of dying which led to a quick response from emergency services. The injured woman was taken to the hospital for urgent medical care. At first her condition was critical but recent updates show that her health has improved and she is no longer considered to be in a life-threatening state.

How is the East Flanders public prosecutor’s office handling the case?

The East Flanders public prosecutor’s office has officially labeled the stabbing incident as a case of domestic violence. It has been said that this classification highlights how serious the situation is and the nature of the attack. Authorities are actively looking into what happened to understand the full extent of the abuse and what led to the attack. This investigation will include gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses and examining the relationship between the people involved.

After the investigation, the 50-year-old man responsible for the stabbing will have to appear before a judge. The judge’s job will be to look at the evidence and decide whether the man should be kept in jail or released while waiting for the next steps in the legal process. This decision will be based on the investigation’s findings and concerns about public safety and justice.
