Roxan V. simulates the shaking before Ghent judges
According to dhnet.be, Roxan V., the principal defendant in the case of an infant's death from shaking in a Ghent nursery in 2022, admitted on Thursday evening before the correctional court that he had violently shaken the child.
"I could not say it before," he declared to the three judges, who had pressed him several times during the hearing to tell the truth.
To illustrate the violence of the gesture, the defendant seized the court president's water bottle and shook it vigorously for a few moments. "Now you can clearly hear the water sloshing," he added. This gesture contrasted with the one he had mimicked earlier in the day: a minimal movement, barely lasting a second.
