On December 17, 1980, Freddy Horion was sentenced by the Ghent Court of Assisen to the death penalty, converted to life imprisonment.Horion entered the house of car dealer Roland Steyaert in Sint-Amandsberg on 23 June 1979 together with the late Roland Feneulle.

A few months earlier, on February 9, 1979, horion had also killed Hélène Lichevsky, a shopkeeper in the port of Ghent. In the meantime, horion has been in jail for more than 45 years.
Euthanasia
Horion recently applied for euthanasia due to unbearably psychologically.For the sake of clarity, the transfer of this morning was not in that euthanasia application.”But as of the commotion that the articles about that application brought about, Horion was very marveled,” says Damen. “Perhaps we now see the precipitation of that today.”
“For the sake of clarity, that euthanasia application is a very last option,” said Damen. “We hope that the criminal court can offer him perspective. A release under conditions, or a move to a transition house. Only if that does not yield anything, does Horion request that euthanasia application as a last option.It gives him the choice: what life do I wont to live? A life behind bars, or euthanasia?”
In 2021, the six -fold murderer became seriously ill when he became infected with the coronavirus.
