Overview
- The Public Prosecution Service, which made its demand Friday in Den Bosch, seeks five years for Cornelis S. for transporting a body and taking part in drug production.
- Henk ten Katen, 39, died in October 2025 after inhaling toxic fumes in an amphetamine lab in Torhout, Belgium.
- After the death, the body was taken to Boxmeer and found on October 13 on the back seat of an abandoned car, and police arrested S. on October 31.
- S. says he acted under threat after days of paid work in the lab, but the prosecutor said he should have driven to a hospital or called police.
- Forensic tests found large amounts of amphetamine in the victim’s blood, and Belgian police traced the lab from a note found on a boat, leading to four arrests now prosecuted in Belgium.
