Overview
- Dutch Justice Ministry officials said the incident on the PPC’s Unit 3 ended Friday evening with two prison employees brought to safety and the perpetrator back under control.
- Police negotiators and the Dienst Speciale Interventies led the response as containment protocols left detainees, a volunteer and construction workers inside the complex for hours.
- Multiple outlets named the suspect as Corné H., linked to a 2024 café hostage-taking in Ede, though authorities have not officially confirmed his identity.
- Court records show he was sentenced in December 2024 to nine months in prison plus TBS with compulsory treatment for the Ede case, with prior reports of aggressive behavior in Vught.
- Follow-up reporting questions why he remained in a prison psychiatric ward pending transfer to a TBS clinic due to limited capacity, and officials say aftercare is being arranged for those involved.
