OM asks for strict punishment for man who killed Marthe (23).
Marthe was on her way home with her bicycle after the Batjes. The driver was under the influence of alcohol and drugs. He expressed his shame in court. A brother of Marthe took the floor himself, with an emotional appeal not to combine drinking and driving.
Marthe is cycling home when she is hit by a young man of 24. He drives way too fast, has drunk way too much and is under the influence of cannabis. Marthe does not survive. The public prosecutor is now asking for a strict punishment, and wants the man to be declared unfit to drive. The family does not want a sum of money or imprisonment, but a maximum driving ban.
