Hello my name is Jeremy and this is the true crime Chronicles channel in the courtroom there’s no absolute truth merely your interpretation of occurrences against theirs that’s the mechanism of the legal system the issue isn’t about what’s just and Equitable but about presenting the most persuasive narrative this is a line from the
Television show how to get away with murder in December 2018 a group of University peers took 20-year-old Sandu DIA to the emergency room he was unconscious notably pale and his skin was cold unresponsive to any stimuli leaving the doctors perplexed he was a fit active young adult without any
History of illness yet there he was lying with a body temperature of merely 27° C in a come State the medical examinations revealed that he had hypernia a critically high level of sodium in his system typically an adult in justest 5 G of salt daily equating to
About 2 G of sodium internally Sandu however had 160 G of sodium in his body surpassing the two-month average intake for an individual the medical team questioned these supposed University friends about what had transpired with Sandu inquiring about his activities the previous night however they simply Shrugged averted their gaze and feigned
Ignorance about their fellow students condition clearly something was a miss here despite the Relentless efforts of the medical professionals to save him 20-year-old Sadia succumbed to multi-organ failure a condition where his body’s vital systems ceased functioning the autopsy revealed startling findings the pathologist examined the contents of the young man’s
Stomach to understand the cause of the sudden demise of a seemingly healthy University student to the doctor’s astonishment and dismay he discovered an absence of food and water over the past two days instead the stomach contained unusual items like aquarium goldfish heads of mice and entire heads of eels
This indicated that s had endured horrific experiences before his death the case of Sanda garnered immense attention from online communities and media rapidly becoming a topic of international discussion conversations erupted about universities concealing the shocking misdeeds of their students and the impunity enjoyed by Offspring of affluent families this situation brought
Particular Focus to a student fraternity known as Rus established over 7 decades ago its symbol was a Flemish lion this secret fraternity was composed solely of male students majoring in law engineering and business with around 30 active members mostly hailing from prominent families Rus is stewed as one
Of the most coveted groups at the esteemed Catholic University of Len in Belgium almost every student aspired to join this exclusive Brotherhood annually they admitted merely two or three new newcomers abundant rumors swirled around the fraternity heightening its Allure and rendering it even more enigmatic and Elusive it represented a sort of student
Aristocracy with significant clout and sway within that educational institution in the meantime the student fraternity Rios resumed its activities they concocted a unique selection of items for their annual initiation tradition for new members this initiation menu included starters such as Grasshoppers and Cockroach es followed by a main course featuring live
Mice and fish the dessert was a combination of coffee paired with an illicit substance a disconcerting image showcasing the fraternity’s initiation ceremony was circulated in the photo the principal members of the group were attired in warm outerwear like coats and cloaks while four initiates were subjected to the challenges on their
Knees in a startling display one initiate had a pistol directed at his head and another faced the barrel of a rifle this photograph raised numerous questions what other types of Ceremonies did this clandestine group conduct what were the exact happenings within the fraternity’s walls considering the backgrounds of many members parents
Politicians lawyers distinguished doctors and Business Leaders what lengths would they go to Shield their offspring if a truly grave incident occurred Sadia wasn’t actually aspiring to join the reos Brotherhood born in Belgium he was acutely aware of his fortunate circumstan an es s’s father hailing from Sagal had sought asylum in
Another Nation a few years prior to s’s birth like many fathers who are immigrants he sacrificed a great deal to ensure his two sons could lead a respectable life he knew that because of their skin color his children would have to work doubly hard to gain the same respect and career opportunities as
Native belgians Mr Dia s’s father toiled long hours at a factory spent nights mastering the local language and either found or for went sleep to assist his sons with their schoolwork his sole aspiration was for his sons to achieve success in life from an early age sand was conscious about his future he
Realized that success wouldn’t come easily it would require persistent hard work since kindergarten Sanda had a close friend named fery living a mere 5-minute walk from one another they were inseparable they shared passions like biking manga and dreams of attending University securing good jobs saving money and eventually relocating to Japan
They even made a pinky promise to remain lifelong best friends and one day travel to the Land of the Rising Sun together however s was never faded to see the birthplace of Manga and Anime Beyond Ferry he had numerous friends as a teenager s excelled effortlessly in everything he tried whether it was
Solving complex mathematical problems or playing football for the first time he amazed his friends with his natural Talent though people often Envy such gifted individuals s was beloved for his Charisma and approachability his knack for conversation and his ability to connect with everyone this natural charm
And openness made it easy for him to make friends after completing High School Sadia enrolled at the University of lven becoming the first in his family to attend such a distinguished higher education institution this achievement filled his father with immense Pride surpassing Any Dream he had ever envisioned although
The University was just a 30-minute drive from his home s opted to stay in a dormatory he selected civil engineering as his major dedicating himself from the outset to earning a master’s degree in the field s who appeared wise Beyond his years was driven by a desire to make his father
Proud his ambition was to graduate secure a well-paying job and enable his father to retire repaying the sacrifices made for his children’s future by 2018 di was in his third year of the 5-year program he was already focused on securing employment postgraduation so he steered clear of the party scene concentrating instead on
Finding a lucrative job to support his family and pay bills aware of the potential challenges his skin color might present in landing a desirable position in a predominantly European tightly-knit industry sand was under No Illusion about the difficulty of his task armed with high academic achievements interpersonal skills and un
Wavering diligence he recognized the importance of establishing vital connections this realization led him to consider joining the Roy Brotherhood a group synonymous with Prestige social networking exclusivity and The crucial connections needed for his career in a world where not just Merit but also influential connections are highly
Valued this seemed like a strategic move many members of the Rios Brotherhood hailed from well-known families and Sand’s decision to apply surprised his friends except for his older brother who saw the potential career benefits of such societies his childhood friend Ferry who believed in s’s natural sociability and friendliness was
Initially doubtful of these fraternities and even tried to discourage sa from what he saw as a hazardous step if only Ferry had known the tragic outcome that would befall s he would never have ceased his efforts to dissuade him for Dia the decision to join reos wasn’t made on a whim he carefully
Considered the advantages and disadvantages before deciding to go ahead with only 2 years remaining in his program in 2018 sand was among the 10 students who successfully navigated the stringent selection process of Rose from these 10 only three including s Advanced to the final initiation stage the initial phase involved the fraternity’s
Permanent members filtering out candidates who didn’t align with their interests character or communication Styles now narrowed down to three the real ordeal commenced a grueling two months of evaluation by the elite student group culminating in an extensive initiation ceremony spanning 2 to 3 days during this period the new recruits were relentlessly
Subjected to sophisticated ridicule continuously without breaks completely at the mercy of the fraternity’s members s was aware of the harsh trials that lay ahead he had heard tales of the brutal initiation rights nonetheless he was willing to endure all the discomfort and repulsive challenges for a promising future just like the other two
Candidates Dia understood the process would be tough involving mockery and pushing them to their limits however no one anticipates risking their life in such situations s had discussed this with a campus friend a member of a different fraternity who was oblivious to the specifics of Rouse’s initiation practices this friend portrayed the
Initiation as a mere test of physical stamina commitment to Future fraternity brothers and discipline although unpleasant he believed it was a necessary and ultimately worthwhile experience s found the mandatory Gatherings intolerable especially since he was compelled to consume excessive amounts of alcohol more distressingly as a kind of initiation he was required to
Drink the urine of the fraternity members he along with the other novices were relentlessly exposed to verbal and psychological torment however Dia faced the most severe hardships he was derided for his skin tone in October 2018 a few months before the concluding ritual the Brotherhood organized a significant
Event at the Student Union building the aspirants were made to kneel while the established members of Roy alternated in forcing them to gulp down potent Spirits or several liters of beer continuously naturally after ingesting such a volume of alcohol the novices were barely able to stand yet they were still tasked with
Cleaning the venue in their disoriented State they staggered around the floor mopping up their own and others regurgitation that evening all three novices were obliged to clean but the brothers concocted a different plan they determined that sand alone should tidy up after the celebration because historically those with dark skin served
The whites this was a harsh declaration but Dia felt powerless at that moment as he was Resolute in attaining his objective he was aware that this situation would eventually conclude a representative of the Student Association attempted to reprimand the young men for their remarks but what could he possibly do against 20 wealthy
Noble influential and pampered youths they were unafraid of anyone and conducted these acts openly without any sense of embarrassment as the fraternity members deemed themselves Superior to all they simply warned the staff member not to meddle in their Affairs s endeavored earnestly to gain acceptance considering his future prospects but at
Just 20 years of age he was essentially still naive despite this Dreadful event Dia persisted in attending the fraternity Gatherings some might question why Dia continued to seek camaraderie with these individuals his reasons were multifaceted firstly he played soccer with some of them and interacted amicably secondly s was acutely aware of
The extensive sacrifices his father had made for his education and he vowed to fulfill those expectations the student harbored hopes that the indignities would cease once he cleared the final hurdle in Rose’s 70 plus years of History only two members had been of African Heritage and presently only one
Was surviving a darkskinned student was inducted in 2015 and sand was poised to be the second to undergo the ultimate initiation right the final initiation also termed baptism was about to commence everything the novices had endured thus far was insignificant compared to the ordeal they were set to face that
Weekend December 4th 2018 marked the commencement of the initiation at 400 p.m. the initial challenge began sand along with two other candidates dawned lengthy flowing white robes and ventured into the city with bouquets of flowers their objective was to sell as many flowers as possible the one who sold the
Fewest would endure various penalties such as drinking sour milk bird seed and inevitably forced alcohol consumption s finished last selling 30 roses fewer than his peers leading to to his punishment consuming such an excessive amount of alcohol that his speech became severely impaired in the second phase of the initiation the novices were
Positioned on their knees and posed straightforward questions by 700 p.m. the fraternity members were indifferent to Dia’s inability to articulate responses predictably he was outperformed by the others and subjected to further punishment at the conclusion of this stage one and a half bottles of gin were forced upon him his body not
Accustomed to heavy drinking began began to react violently his stomach contained nothing but alcohol Sand’s complexion turned Ashen he was unable to stand speak or move autonomously teetering on the edge of dehydration and repeatedly losing Consciousness astonishingly all these events unfolded in a public setting as recounted by one of the
Fraternity members the second trial occurred right on the sidewalk in front of a cafe in the city Square yet none of the bystanders intervened they neither alerted the authorities nor called for a police patrol at 9:00 p.m. the third challenge titled endure the night commenced the novices were hauled back to the
Dormitory where 18 fraternity Brothers resumed their Relentless hazing the task was to consume as many beer pints as feasible by the trial’s conclusion all three participants were rendered unconscious they were breathing but remained unresponsive to any attempts to Rouse them yet their unconscious state did not exempt them from ongoing abuses
In line with the fraternity’s cust custom if someone fainted at a gathering they were subjected to being urinated on the brothers viewed this as a manifestation of Frailty and an opportunity to exert their dominance proof of these acts was captured in a video taken at 11:40 p.m. which they subsequently attempted to
Erase with the first day’s competition at an end the three new initiates were dragged to their quarters and unceremoniously deposited on their beds with the water supply disabled for amusement their possessions were defaced with catch up and chocolate and their door was locked this meant that should any of the boys regain Consciousness
After consuming such a lethal volume of alcohol they wouldn’t even have access to water to alleviate their thirst this was merely the initial day of the initiation at one of the nation’s most esteemed universities yet the most harrowing experiences were yet to unfold the following day December 5th
2018 at approximately 10:30 a.m. the fraternity members prepared to proceed with the final stages of the grueling initiation they roused the three initiates placed them in vehicles and drove them out of the city to a secluded Village roughly an hour away a fraternity member owned a small cottage
There shrouded by thick Woods ideal for concealing their activities on Route they made several stops to acquire items necessary for the ceremony the students bought aquarium fish eels live rodents as well as bird and dog feed from a pet store next they visited a super supermarket and obtained fish sauce
Commonly used in Asian Cuisine for its flavor enhancing qualities it’s high in sodium with about 1670 Mig per tablespoon nearly 70% of the advised daily intake and is not typically consumed in large amounts they also purchased duck eggs sardines clams shrimp paste muscles among other products during one of these stops they
Encountered an academic who observed that one of the students evidently required assistance she addressed her concerns to the fraternity members and even proposed calling the police however the students persuasively reassured the professor claiming sand was merely intoxicated and in shock they assured her that the initiation had concluded
And they intended to sober him up with a cold bath dismissing the professor’s apprehensions the group proceeded to the cabin in the forest the details of the subsequent happenings were reconstructed by the police through recovered deleted video footage and scarce evidence the complete truth of the events that trans
Ired in that Forest remains elusive over several hours the three initiates were compelled to excavate a substantial trench into which they were subsequently placed as the initiates struggled to keep warm the other fraternity members a group of 18 young adult men encircled the pit they filled
It with freezing water and live eels in Belgium during December the average temperature ranges from + 3 to + 7° C when the initiates became cold the permanent members of the fraternity urinated on them from above as a twisted means of warming them up at this stage sand was suffering from dehydration and
Was still inebriated from the previous night’s events even if he had the will to stand and leave his physical state rendered it impossible under normal circumstances to formally reject the initiation process one simply had to ring a bell situated away from the trench thereby forfeiting their place in
The fraternity the initiates could have accessed this Bell at any time but in this instance the Bell was either deliberately or inadvertently omitted leaving S without a means to signify his refusal of the initiation his inability to stand or speak due to his condition rendered him powerless the three
Inebriated weary boys sat in the icy water subjected to the senior fraternity members acts of urination and defecation they were then coerced into biting off the heads of live mice and eels in the water and to follow this with fish oil after enduring over 6 hours in such
Brutal conditions Sand’s body began to shut down and he started losing Consciousness he was extracted from the water clothed in dry garments and placed beside a fire as he curled up on the grass remaining in the fetal position for 2 hours the initiation rights carried on around him instead of
Receiving medical attention the students documented the situation with photos and videos while sand emitted distressing sounds indicative of excruciating pain the excessive intake of sodium triggered a severe elevation in sanda’s blood pressure resulting in a nose bleed and he became entirely unresponsive at 8:57 p.m. a senior fraternity member
Eventually made the decision to contact emergency services following their advice the students transported the unconscious s to a hospital to prevent soiling the car’s interior they placed his body in the trunk upon arrival at the emergency department the fraternity members withheld crucial information from the medical team regarding Sand’s
Recent diet and alcohol consumption after leaving him in the care of the hospital staff they departed with the intention of resuming the initiation upon his discharge an action that left sand with no real chance of recovery while the medical professionals conducted tests and endeavored to unravel the cause of his condition
Sand’s organs began failing due to the severity of his State he was transferred to antp University Hospital for its Superior facilities there sanda’s heart ceased functioning he slipped into a coma and subsequently the 20-year-old tragically lost his life the primary cause of death was identified as toxic
Levels of sodium in his body a direct result of the excessive consumption of fish sauce the hospital informed the police prompting an immediate investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death by 10:40 p.m. the other two initiates who had continued with the initiation ritual were also hospitalized ized upon learning of their children’s
Dire condition the parents hurried to the hospital meanwhile fraternity members hastily worked to erase any evidence of the initiation they filled in the trench used for the trials cleaned up the room that had been smeared with ketchup and chocolate reinstated the water supply and purged their phones of incriminating messages
Photos and videos by the time police arrived at the scene there was no physical evidence left however investigators were later able to recover the deleted data from the mobile devices despite the recovery of this evidence the investigation encountered significant hurdles the children involved belonged to influential families whose parents quickly sought
Legal representation although the evidence implicating 18 fraternity members in sandia’s death grew stronger the investigation was protracted and met with continual obstruction from the high-powered parents all 18 students wiped their social media profiles and limited their communication speaking only through their attorneys following the tragedy of sanda’s death the reos
Fraternity was dissolved the university imposed disciplinary measures on all involved requiring them to complete 30 hours of community service and write an essay on the role of traditions in student organizations remarkably none of the participants were expelled from the university the 18 individuals involved in the incident completed their Education Without significant
Repercussions in response to this outcome teachers aware of the situation authored an open letter advocating for harsher penalties for the group but no additional measures were enforced against these students the formal legal process concluded in July 2020 following this attorneys representing two members of rice sought further investigations
Seemingly as a tactic to reframe the entire incident as a tragic accident and attribute blame to the deceased student for purportedly weak Health it wasn’t until May 26 2023 that the ANP court of appeal delivered its verdict finding ing the 18 fraternity members guilty of involuntary manslaughter and degrading
Treatment each was fined €400 and sentenced to perform community service additionally they were collectively ordered to pay approximately €30,000 in compensation to the DIA family to avoid impacting their future prospects the students identities were withheld the leniency of the verdict for those responsible for sadia’s death sparked widespread dissent leading to protest
Actions in various cities despite these demonstrations no substantial changes have been reported as a consequence in this case the perceived lack of Justice remains a poignant aspect of the story if you like this story subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss new videos don’t forget to like and share
