In response, the police opened fire, and the suspect was shot dead shortly after.

A fatal stabbing occurred early on April 28, 2025, at around 3 a.m. in an apartment building located on Jozef Simonslaan in Turnhout.

The incident reportedly stemmed from a dispute between two men in the building.

During the altercation, one man stabbed the other multiple times, resulting in the victim's death.

Upon police arrival, they found the deceased man and were confronted by the suspected attacker.

The suspected attacker, armed with a knife, refused to surrender and acted aggressively towards the officers.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing, with the street closed for forensic examination and an investigating judge appointed by the prosecutor's office.

As a result of the knife attack and police intervention, two individuals were killed.

Authorities are working to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the tragic events.
