Father Arrested in Moergestel Child Injuries as Prosecutors Seek Prison Terms in Stint Case

Police issue fresh witness appeals in separate stabbing and traffic cases.

Overview

  • The 49-year-old father of two children found injured in a Moergestel home was taken into custody on suspicion of involvement, with detectives examining a possible link to his earlier wrong-way crash on the A58; both children are being treated and are out of life-threatening danger.
  • Prosecutors requested five years and four months in prison for Stint entrepreneurs Edwin Renzen and Peter Noorlander and sizable corporate fines, citing NFI findings on inadequate braking, more than 2,700 prior problem reports, and alleged misleading documentation; defense arguments follow Tuesday.
  • In Maren-Kessel, a 23-year-old motorist was released from custody but remains a suspect in the crash that killed 18-year-old Lars from Berlicum, as police continue to seek witnesses and camera footage; the vehicle has been seized for forensics.
  • A man in Montfoort was stabbed and seriously injured after intervening to help a teen during a robbery arranged via social media, with investigators sharing suspect descriptions and asking for dashcam and doorbell footage.
  • In Maassluis, three people were arrested near the Koningshoek shopping center after officers found multiple firearms in a planter that were later determined to be fake.
