In addition to admitting to the murders in Gistel. He has also admitted to killing the photographer in Sint-Admandsberg. 
In his statement “He confirmed that he was the perpetrator of what happened in Gistel. In addition to this he made a statement concerning the events in Sint-Amandsberg”, Ms Van Belleghem told journalists.

The photographer’s body was discovered on Tuesday morning, before the triple murder in Gistel. Both cases soon became linked, not least because the photographer knew the alleged killer’s ex-girlfriend.
