T., who resided illegally in the Netherlands from September 2020, stabbed a policeman in the face and neck just after 10 p.m. The officer was in mortal danger for some time. An attempted manslaughter, according to the prosecutor. A policewoman was stabbed in the leg. A belt strap prevented her from being hit in the stomach. In this case, the Public Prosecution Service assumes an attempt to inflict serious physical injury.
T. was cycling with Justin de G. (22) from Winschoten on March 10. They had met each other via the internet and had a relationship since 2018, according to T. He told the court that De G. is his wife and calls him Emma. The officers wanted to check their IDs. The Public Prosecution Service suspects that the two wanted to break in that evening.
T. said he had stabbed him out of fear that his partner, who did not have an identity card, would be arrested. The G. would then have to go to a mental health institution and die, according to T. He calls his action “honorable.” The men fled to France after the stabbing, where they were arrested.
According to psychic experts, T. has serious psychopathology and is less accountable. De G. will appear in court on Friday.
