According to the court, there is now sufficient evidence that the Amsterdammer did it. He is said to have been near the nursing home several times before the robbery. There were also photos on his phone of the goods that were stolen.
“The suspect was guilty in a cold-blooded manner of a violent home invasion in a care institution. These are vulnerable victims, who are largely dependent on the care of others. One of the victims cannot even get out of bed independently,” the court said.
Punishment
In determining his sentence, the fact that he had several opportunities to confess, but never did so, was taken into account. It also aggravates the punishment that he went after older, vulnerable victims, who ‘still evoke strong emotions in them to this day’.
The man also had a lot of drugs in his possession, it later turned out during a search of his house. Including more than four kilos of hemp and almost 300 grams of methamphetamine.
All in all, the Amsterdam resident is sentenced to five years in prison, minus pre-trial detention. They agree with the demand for punishment from the Public Prosecution Service. The man must also pay a total of almost 85,000 euros in material and immaterial damages to two victims.
