The assize trial concerning a baby murder has been postponed once again. This delay follows a challenge made by the defense attorneys of Nora Ramzi concerning the chairperson of the trial. This situation has arisen in Tongeren on October 1, 2025.
Trial Delay Details
After a brief postponement due to an unexpected delivery by the accused, the trial is at a standstill once more. The defense attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the trial chairperson, Nora R., aged 31, citing a need for psychiatric evaluation related to the unforeseen childbirth.
Additionally, it has been revealed that the accused had concealed her pregnancy throughout the proceedings. This revelation adds complexity to the ongoing trial and raises questions about the handling of such sensitive information.
Impact of Recent Developments
The ongoing challenges in this case reflect broader concerns about the judicial process and the implications of mental health in legal contexts. The defense’s request reflects their desire for a thorough examination of the psychiatric state of the accused, given her recent experiences associated with motherhood.
