New information has come to light about the Albanian man who was shot dead on October 12 in Brussels near the European Parliament, the same evening that Nordine El Talbi, a police officer who lost her life in the line of duty, was killed in a Brussels municipality. The perpetrators of both attacks are suspected to be the same.

Our colleagues at the daily newspaper De Standaard reveal this Thursday that the suspects accused of the murder of Nordine El Talbi, the 41-year-old police officer who lost his life in the line of duty in Jette on October 12, are also suspected of being involved in another murder, which occurred just a few hours earlier on Wiertz Street, in Ixelles.

In the late afternoon, Redjan Z. was shot seven to eight times before the perpetrators left the scene.

That same Monday evening, Brussels police officer Nordine El Talbi was shot dead while guarding a vehicle parked on Boulevard Carton de Wiart in Jette. The vehicle had been stolen earlier in the evening during a carjacking in Tubize.

Investigation through security cameras is said to have enabled the identification of the perpetrators, who were subsequently arrested in Spain and France.

The Brussels Prosecutor's Office has refused to confirm or deny this information, so as not to jeopardize the interests of the two investigations.

Lawyer Ofelia Avagian, who represents the interests of the family of Redjan Z., who was not known to the police and had no criminal record, said: “The victim’s family learned this news from the media and not through an official announcement. You can imagine how painful and shocking this is for them. There has been very little consideration for the victims in this case.

The fact that the prosecution does not want to confirm this information plunges my clients into even more uncertainty. We do not know what is true and what is not; everything is completely unclear.

This is even more worrying considering that in the first official communications it was announced that the two events were unrelated.

"However, the family is pleased that the investigation is progressing and that the suspects have been apprehended. The events are particularly frightening if the investigation confirms their involvement."

The main line of investigation at this stage remains that of a settling of scores in the world of drug trafficking.

According to the newspaper's sources, before the fateful date of October 12, Redjan Z. made frequent trips back and forth between Belgium and his country of origin, Albania.
