Overview
- Lawyer Petra Breukink says Corné H. is in isolation in PI Vught and has received a disciplinary punishment after Friday’s alleged hostage-taking of three staff members.
- The Public Prosecution Service says he will not be presented to a judge because he is already detained, and investigators are reviewing CCTV and interviewing witnesses.
- A prosecutor will decide on possible charges once the investigation’s final report is complete, according to an OM spokesperson.
- Corné H. was sentenced last year to nine months in prison plus TBS for a prolonged hostage incident at a café in Ede, with experts describing that act as a cry for help and the court finding diminished accountability.
- His lawyer argues that people under a TBS order require a therapeutic setting rather than a regular prison, highlighting concerns about prisoners waiting for clinic placements.
