What happens to truly evil people when die?

My brother in law died last night.
A truly evil man.
Before my mum passed away she told me that he would have to stand before the Almighty and answer for all the things he had
done.
Things so terrible I can't say them.
I believe in a loving and forgiving God, so I'm having some trouble with what she said.
Any advice would be welcome please

That's it in a nutshell nannasmile.

He didn’t die knowing that he had been loved. For me the thought that all my life I have had someone to love me is the most consoling thought I can think of.

They die exactly like everyone else. There's no Hell or Heaven - that's just jam tomorrow to keep the masses quiet.

What happens when we die is a complete unknowable mystery. So Santana choose to believe what brings peace within your own heart, you say you believe in a kind and loving God, I’d suggest that’s because you yourself are a kind and loving person.

They probably go to Paris. Seriously, no-one knows what happens after death. Myself, I think nothing happens. There is no continuation in an afterlife, heaven and hell and purgatory don't exist and the body decomposes if buried.
