Overview
- An Arnhem court sentenced a 28-year-old man to two years in prison, six months suspended, with three years’ probation, a contact and location ban, and about €8,100 in compensation for a daytime attack in Meinerswijk.
- Investigators reported drag marks, a recovered pair of the victim’s glasses, and the suspect’s DNA on her wrists, while experts said limited cooperation left his accountability and reoffending risk unclear.
- Prosecutors demanded just over 16 months, six suspended, for a 54-year-old Ukrainian accused of stabbing a compatriot in Tynaarlo on January 2 and suspected of stalking his wife, rejecting his self‑defence claim as a knife was later found near a park lake.
- In the Urk case, the OM sought one year, half suspended, after a punch on Koningsnacht 2024 left 30-year-old Teun Wakker with a fractured skull and fatal brain swelling, with prosecutors stating there was no intent to kill.
- The Urk defence argued ambulance care was insufficient after the blow, while the court scheduled its ruling for November 14.
