For attempted manslaughter on his apartment, a 33-year-old man from Emmer-Compascuum was sentenced to 2 years in prison and TBS with compulsory treatment. The 30-year-old victim, among other things, suffered a skull fracture.
The violence took place on July 17, 2023 outside the building where both at that time lived. Before the eyes of shoppers, the victim was kicked and beaten several times at the Jacket Spoel and Runde NZ ran to his head after he was beaten to the ground. Of these are camera images.

The 30-year-old flat resident criticized his roommate. It would cause nuisance. He spoke to him outside the building. The suspect claimed to the judge that he was being attacked first, but the images do not show this. The judge believes that there is no storm. By intervention by bystanders, the suspect was kept away from the victim.
In the beginning the man did not want to cooperate in a psychological examination. That is why he was later observed in the Pieter Baan Center. Experts assume a psychotic disorder and weakness. It is reduced imputable.
