Summary:

A 47-year-old man of Afghan descent was arrested in Izegem after fatally stabbing three people in Roeselare. Earlier that day, he was involved in a domestic violence incident where his former partner was found dead. The man, who had a history of violence against his wife and children, had been sentenced just four days prior for domestic abuse.

Despite being convicted to one year in prison (with half suspended) and a fine of €800, he had not yet served time due to ongoing legal proceedings. He also received a six-month effective prison sentence, which is not currently enforced for such short durations. The court deemed probation supervision unfeasible due to his limited understanding of Dutch, and no restraining order was imposed after the verdict.

Sounds like another three victims of a failed judicial system.

Encarceration not being done is abnormal, but is standard practice.

But on top of that it's extra concerning that he is free without any follow-up or conditions, seemingly because he can't manage to learn the local languages?

The authorities, judge, police - everyone seems to have failed the wife and other victims. Whatever trauma this guy is living out, he should have been locked up if he has not one but several judgements against him (or deported I suppose in this case).
