Also reporting mistreatment and threat to the main suspect of the explosion in bridal boutique wheat camp

The owner of the bridal fashion store at the wheat camp in The Hague has reported the client of the fire in her case, also her ex-partner, Moshtag B., because of, among other things, threats, abuse and computer and housing peace breach. That became clear on Thursday during the third pro forma session on the explosion, in the court of The Hague. The threats would have taken place prior to the devastating fire on December 7 last year. Then in addition to the bridal fashion store, the houses above it went up in flames. Six residents died, five others were injured.

The Public Prosecution Service (OM) is currently investigating the two declarations of the owner and will possibly submit them separately to the court.

The intention was never that the building would explode, and certainly not that people would die

The case about the explosion will only be dealt with substantively at the earliest at the earliest next summer, the court announced on Thursday. Yet during this third preparatory session the room was again full, including with victims and relatives. For them, the disaster still dominates their lives nine months later. This was evident, among other things, from the plea of ​​a lawyer who assists a family that the disaster barely survived: mother incapacitated for work, children for almost a year in trauma therapy, still no new home that has to replace the collapsed owner -occupied home.

Suspect

The four suspects were also present. Three of them are suspected of murder or manslaughter, arson with a fatal outcome and the preparation of a fire. Mourad BT (29), the only one of the four suspects who did not make a statement before, has now made that, the OM reported on Thursday. Against Ad His lawyer said that the suspect never knew that he was used for a revenge against B.’s ex-girlfriend would have been told that it was a “business conflict.” “The intention was never that the building would explode, and certainly not that people would die. Client regrets it,” said his lawyer.

Moshtag B., the 33-year-old client from the Brand on the bridal fashion store of his ex-girlfriend, would have wanted to take revenge on her because she would have cheated on. To this end, he contacted Mourad BT from Rotterdam to implement the plan. He in turn brought his nephew Illias B. (24) from Roosendaal. A fourth suspect, 33-year-old Anil A. from Oosterhout, was also involved in the plan. Initially they wanted to implement the plan on December 1. A. then did not show up, in his own words because he wanted to earn from stealing the wedding dresses, and was not behind the plan to start a fire.

A week later the two cousins ​​drove to the wheat camp, without Anil A. the two were reportedly threw almost 200 liters of gasoline over the wedding dresses and lit it with heavy fireworks.

Cocktail from petrol vapor

New research by the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI) makes clear how the deadly explosion could then arise The AD earlier this week. A cocktail of gasoline vapor came into contact with the fireworks, creating such enormous pressure within a few seconds that even the foundation of the houses was knocked away. The building therefore collapsed like a house of cards.

The two of the houses would also catch fire above the store had not provided the two and had never been the intention, they said in an earlier pro forma session.

Suspected Anil A. is dissatisfied that he is still in pre -trial detention. For the third time in a row, his lawyer argued for suspension of the custody. A. would only have been ‘on inspection’ at the location, had looked around for a few minutes. When he heard that a fire would be started, A. would have warned that that would be a dangerous plan.

The court did not agree: there is sufficient evidence for A.’s involvement in the file, even though he was not in the crime scene in question, the judgment was. A., who went crazy against the judge and the press during the previous pro forma session in May, this time it held it with a brief disapproving comment. The other three suspects will also remain fixed for the time being.
