New Trial Begins for Convicted Murderer of 14-Year-Old Ayleen

The court will reconsider whether Jan P. should face preventive detention after a legal revision altered sentencing guidelines for related crimes.

Jan P., convicted of the 2022 murder of 14-year-old Ayleen A., is undergoing a new trial to determine whether preventive detention will be imposed after his prison sentence.
The Federal Court of Justice overturned the initial preventive detention ruling due to changes in sentencing laws for offenses involving child pornography.
Prosecutors argue that Jan P.'s additional crimes, including sexually explicit behavior toward a 13-year-old girl, justify preventive detention under revised legal standards.
Jan P., who manipulated Ayleen through sexualized online chats before murdering her, has expressed remorse through a statement read by his defense attorneys.
The court is expected to decide on preventive detention by March, with additional testimony from psychologists and social workers planned for upcoming hearings.
