belgium - Freddy Horion (77), a convicted murderer, requests euthanasia citing unbearable psychological pain after being imprisoned for over 45 years in Belgium.

Convicted Serial Killer Freddy Horion Seeks Euthanasia Due to Psychological Suffering

Freddy Horion (77) has applied for euthanasia due to unbearable psychological suffering after over 45 years in prison, making him Belgium's longest-serving detainee.

Background

Horion was convicted in 1980 for a brutal murder where he killed multiple members of a family, expressing anger towards society. Despite efforts for release, legal challenges have kept him incarcerated.

Legal Battles for Release

In 2020, Horion appealed to the European Court of Human Rights, highlighting his lack of prospects for release. Despite expert recommendations for his release, he was not accommodated in a forensic psychiatric center due to being a convicted offender, leading to ongoing legal disputes.

Euthanasia Request

Horion's deteriorating health and perceived hopelessness have pushed him to seek euthanasia. His request is not aimed at pressuring authorities but stems from genuine suffering.

Impact and Controversy

The case of Horion, akin to a national trauma, has sparked debate similar to that of the Dutroux case. The victims' families oppose Horion's release, reflecting the lasting impact of his crimes.
