“If something triggers me, it quickly goes from 0 to 100”. That said a 29-year-old man in court about a deliberate collision on 28 September in Schoonebeek. With a delivery van, he rode a pedestrian upside down.
The suspect saw the victim. He knew him and still had an apple to peel with him. “Something was cracking in my head, a button went around,” the man looked back. He sent the bus straight to the victim, who stood with his back to him. The collision has been recorded by a camera. When the hit man gets up again, the bus drives on again. This can be seen on the images shown during the session. “I didn’t drive him again, I tried to drive away. It couldn’t be otherwise,” the man said about this.
The public prosecutor demanded serious abuse in Schoonebeek and a mistreatment in the nightlife in December 2022 in Emmen a five -month prison sentence, of which three months conditional. Moreover, the OM wants the man to receive a community service of sixty hours. The suspect roams in Emmen. It is not wrong that he will return to the field, the prosecutor said about this. She demanded a contact ban with the victim who was hit by the man.
According to the suspect’s lawyer, attempted abuse cannot be proven, the injury is not known to him. The victim did not submit compensation, the personal injury has since been settled through the insurance. The suspect was once convicted of violence once, but that was in 2017. For the victim who would have been mistreated in a pub in Emmen, the man would have to pay compensation of 850 euros.
The judge will rule in two weeks.
