Overview
- The Public Prosecution Service asked the Utrecht court to impose TBS with compulsory treatment, adopting Pieter Baan Centrum findings that he was in a severe psychosis.
- Prosecutors said manslaughter is proven and asked the court to declare him not criminally responsible.
- Investigators cited blood and the girl's DNA on his jacket and the knife, doorbell-camera images of a struggle, and the knife's recovery from a shed roof.
- The defendant told the court he saw “demons,” remembers little of the day, admits drug use in the preceding period, apologized, and says he wants treatment.
- The parents' lawyer urged a prison term in addition to TBS, arguing his drug use was a conscious risk; the prosecution also considers an earlier assault that same day proven.
