Overview
- Esmée D., 26, was ordered to undergo a personality assessment at the Pieter Baan Centrum despite her objection and appeared in court for the first time.
- Her pretrial detention was extended by three months, and the judge indicated the substantive hearing is likely to move to after the summer.
- Prosecutors allege she fatally intoxicated her partner Ruben, 34, citing toxicology that found MDMA and flubromazepam.
- Investigative disputes persist over a farewell note friends say he did not write, thousands of missing WhatsApp messages, a second phone reportedly hidden in rabbit feed, and a dealer who says he sold MDMA while the suspect denies buying it.
- The 3,000-page dossier may still expand as prosecutors seek the 112 ambulance call recording, which ambulance services have withheld under confidentiality pending a legal challenge.
