After three weeks of trial the court pronounced sentence of death upon Hippolyte Visart de Bocarme. His wife was acquitted. Hippolyte Visart de Bocarmé was executed by guillotine on 19 July 1851 at Grand-Place in Mons. Visart de Bocarmés murder and the toxicologic examinations by Stas have been described as a case in many specialised books on medical jurisprudence and toxicology. In 1968 an episode of the Belgian TV series "Beschuldigde sta op" based on the case was produced. The role of Count Bocarmé was played by actor Bob Van der Veken. In the early 1990s the Brussels Comédie Claude Volter showed the play "Nicotine et guillotine", which was also based on Count Bocarmés case.
