He himself is able to escape, but his partner Albert Huybrechts is killed. He goes into hiding at the Beliën farm in Heusden, where he recovers from his wounds. He has not yet fully recovered when the farm is robbed.  The Kriegsgericht sentenced him to death on March 24 for six murders and for his role in a railway sabotage near Mol.
