The victim, Khalid Boumediene, is the brother of Yahya, a well-known footballer in the Liège region, currently in Corsica with his partner Marion Bartoli, a tennis champion, reports lameuse.be. According to witnesses to the accident, the young motorcyclist was hit around 8:20 pm at the level of the Lidl in Sclessin by a vehicle that was reversing. Khalid Boumediene was trapped under the vehicle.

The many resuscitation attempts were in vain. "We tried to revive him for 30 minutes, but there was nothing more to be done," testifies Magan, one of the witnesses to the scene. According to him, several people gathered immediately at the scene of the accident in a rather heavy silence. "The police intervened with great professionalism in supporting the family. I offer my sincere condolences," said the police chief.

Testimonies continue to pour in on social media since the tragic accident of Khalid Boumedienne. Many friends and relatives have delivered poignant testimonies about the life of the deceased. According to his lawyer, Khalid used to "drive her crazy at the office" when he waited for her in front of the gate at 1 a.m. to request an appointment upon his return from Brussels.

She continues her testimony by noting that the deceased had always supported her, spoiled her and motivated her throughout her professional career. "For all these moments, I am proud to be the lawyer I have become today and above all, for all these reasons, you are and will forever be one of the people who, far more than just clients, have become a true pillar of my professional life," she added.
