The 57-year-old former TBS member Mark B. from Groningen was again imposed TBS with compulsory treatment for his girlfriend Rosaria. In addition, he has been sentenced to ten years in prison. The punishment is the same as the requirement.
The judge agrees with the Public Prosecution Service that B. was guilty of manslaughter. No murder, because the man acted on a whim. After a fight about drug use, he closed the woman’s throat and strangled her with the cord of a Fohn. He only called the police two days later.
The agents found B. after a manhunt in Vries. They found the killed woman in the bathroom. The court is toughing that B. has again killed someone to 22 years. In 1993 he killed a 60-year-old man in Alkmaar. B. Wrong at the time under the influence of alcohol. B. and Rosaria were together for twelve years.
She was fiercely against B.’s drug use and wanted to help him stay away from it. “She had to pay for her good care in a horrible way with death,” the judge said. It takes heavily that B. has applied the relatives irreparably suffering. “The impact is great, also for himself. He killed the love of his life.” The chance of repetition is highly estimated without intensive treatment.
The experts speak of a persistent illness. The court can agree with this advice. B. the relatives must pay a total of 22,100 euros in grief, shock damage and funeral costs. B. did not appear to hear his sentence. The relatives did, who reacted relieved after hearing the punishment.
