Overview

• Hans H. faced a full hearing in Zwolle, where the court heard the victim had phoned police saying she was terrified shortly before she was fatally stabbed; the judge denied a defense bid to pause the case for exploring TBS with conditions as the prosecutor indicated she will seek TBS with compulsory treatment.
• Police disputed Geert Wilders’ account of a Utrecht incident involving a garbage collector, describing it as a traffic dispute with a single simple assault and saying there was no large group involvement as claimed.
• Amsterdam investigators released identifiable images of a man sought over a June sexual assault and attempted rape in Slotermeer and appealed for tips after OM approval.
• Rijnmond prosecutors detailed two kidnappings of the same man this year that included severe violence and sexual assault; four suspects are in custody and the cases are set to be heard on December 1.
• In The Hague, an 18‑year‑old woman was stabbed in the leg by a passing cyclist on the Prinsegracht and taken to hospital, with police seeking witnesses and camera footage to identify the suspect.
