Hardy had been found guilty of the rape, torture and murder of eighty-two-year-old Maria Walschaerts in Mechelen, as well as the murder of fifty-two-year-old Linda Doms in Hofstade. He had also been convicted of the attempted murder of the sixty-eight-year-old doctor AH in Hofstade and of the actress Veerle Eyckermans in Zemst.
