- Curtly E. admitted he fatally stabbed his son Gianny-Davey with a kitchen knife on 29 December at his home in Groningen.
- The prosecution classifies the case as manslaughter rather than murder, citing no evidence of premeditation and stating he believed in psychosis that his son would harm him.
- Experts advised TBS, noting he stopped taking schizophrenia medication in September and did not foresee the risk, while relatives called for the maximum prison sentence.
- The boy’s mother delivered an emotional statement, and about fifty family members attended wearing white shirts with his image and prayed partly in Papiamento.
