Overview
- Prosecutors say two men assaulted 33-year-old Robin in Hattem in May 2025, after which a car ran over him and the driver left the scene.
- At a preparatory hearing on November 6 the Arnhem court granted the defence request for new visibility and reconstruction tests and ordered several witnesses to be reinterviewed.
- The court put the substantive trial on hold while the Nederlands Forensisch Instituut will consult with the Public Prosecution Service and defence about further forensic examinations.
- Defence lawyers say earlier driving tests did not match the original conditions because of differences in lighting, clothing and dummy placement, while prosecutors point to audio in which someone says ik sla hem knock-out to support the assault allegation.
- Separately, local reporting describes an unrelated serious car crash on the Neherkade in The Hague that caused heavy vehicle damage and left a person checked by ambulance but offers few verified details.
