The Public Prosecution Service has appealed for two years in prison for Kelly D. and Bruno C. They helped hide the body of the murdered Mihaël Parrent (37) on December 7, 2017, but were caught with the body in the suitcase.
It has been established that Kelly D. (25) and Bruno C. (46) from Brussels did not participate in the murder. Alain Deltrude, Julien Butera and Romuald Verburgh were sentenced by the assize court earlier this year to 27, 27 and 23 years in prison. They had beaten up the victim a few hours before the arrival of D. and C. in a caravan at camping Marva III in Middelkerke because he had robbed them.
Fearing that he would go to the police, they decided to cut his throat afterwards. They also tried to set him on fire in the caravan next door. Romuald Verburgh then called his good friend Kelly D., who was at that time at a Christmas market in Namur together with her then boyfriend Bruno C. According to the public prosecutor, they were: “determined to help cover up this insane abomination.”
Swinging car
But Kelly D.’s Seat Ibiza drifted that night over the Spermalieweg and he was spotted by a police patrol near the Slijpebrug. Kelly D. and Bruno C. were sentenced in the first instance for concealment of bodies to a community service of 120 hours for D. and to 15 months in prison with a suspension for C. Sentences that were too light for the public prosecutor’s office, which appealed.
“This was a Tarantino screenplay, a script for the better horror film, the most revolting and humiliating murder of my career. Mihaël Parrent was brutally slaughtered and almost beheaded!” The Attorney General does not understand that Kelly D. cooperated willingly. She has since completed her law studies, completed additional training in notarial law and now works at a notary’s office.
“As an intellectual, she didn’t get in anyone’s way. She even parked her car closer to the caravan to make it easier to put the body in her trunk.” He was sentenced to two years in prison, the maximum sentence for both. D.’s lawyer hopes that the court will confirm the community service order. “If she has a criminal record, her work at the notary office is over.” Bruno C. is also satisfied with the 15 months of postponement. “The impact is huge. He was admitted to a psychiatric hospital immediately after the reconstruction.” Judgment on December 14.
