Hans Van Themsche Biography

Hans Van Themsche is one of the most popular and richest Criminal who was born on February 7, 1988 in Wilrijk, Flemish Region, Belgium. Alexandra Colen, Vlaams Belang MP, had reportedly called on the Flemish to exterminate people of Arab heritage in a pamphlet entitled ‘Give us arms’. This title was a reference to a 1963 -then clearly figurative- outcry that was reportedly attributed to the later Prime Minister Martens. It was about disputes between Belgian speakers both of Dutch and French. Belien retracted his text after an official complaint was received by the Centre for Equal Opportunities and Fight against Racism.

A municipal decree was issued in July 2007 that prohibits weapons from being displayed in Antwerp shop windows. The appeal by Lang, an arms dealer who had sold Van Themsche a murder weapon, was rejected by the Governor of the Province.

At trial, the defense lawyers argued that Van Themsche suffered from Asperger syndrome and narcissistic personality disorder and was therefore insane. On 11 October, a jury of 12 citizens found Van Themsche guilty on all charges pressed against him, including the murder of Oulemata Niangadou and Luna Drowart. They also judged that the murders were motivated by racism. The next day, the jury and the three professional judges of the court of assizes sentenced him to life imprisonment. The Court of Cassation rejected Van Themsche’s appeal in February 2008. By June 2009, civil lawsuits at Antwerp had recognized a total of nearly 325,000 euro for damages to victims’ families and Songul Koç whom he had caused a permanent professional disability of 55 percent; further treatment costs would add to his dues.

Public debate targeted the Vlaams Belang party with claims that it was partly morally responsible for the murderous shooting at Antwerp. In addition to their decade-long calls for a tighter immigration policy – including in its previous incarnation as the Vlaams Blok, the removal of Belgian citizens of foreign ethnicity – this party is in favour of armed self-defence; except for its principle public figure, Filip Dewinter, who has specifically distanced himself from this notion in the aftermath of this murder spree. One month before the latter on the other hand, he had published: “We’ve had enough of serving as autochthonous chased game. Instead of going through life as scaredy-hares, we should rather become foresters.” The used Dutch term for a scaredy-cat refers to the often hunted animal, for a forester to a patrol officer often against poachers and then typically armed with a shotgun (and possibly the less easily perceived 9 mm semiautomatic handgun).

Van Themsche was caught smoking at his boarding schools on May 9, 2006 and was likely to be expelled.
