A processoSommario
A 37-year-old woman was seriously wounded in her home in the Chasséstraat in the De Baarsjes neighbourhood of Amsterdam-West on the evening of Friday 16 August 2024, and died of her injuries in hospital two days later, on Sunday 18 August. Police were called at about 8.50pm and found the wounded woman, her partner and her six-year-old daughter in the flat. The partner, then 27, was arrested at the scene and the child was placed with a relative. The woman had suffered a wound to her leg that severed an artery and caused heavy blood loss. Neighbours later said they had heard what sounded like an argument. The prosecution alleges that the accused inflicted the wound with a shard of glass during a row, and is trying him for manslaughter, with the alternative charge of grievous bodily harm resulting in death if that is not made out. It regards a fallen vase as an unlikely cause of an arterial wound to the upper leg, which it says must have been inflicted with considerable force, and it points to a documented pattern of difficulty controlling aggression on the part of the accused, who had previously undergone treatment for it. The accused denies responsibility. He maintains that he was asleep and that the victim injured herself on a vase that had fallen, and he denies that any argument took place. At a pro-forma hearing in November 2024 forensic examination had produced few clear indications either way, and what happened in the flat that evening remains disputed. On 27 August 2026 the prosecution demanded a sentence of eight years' imprisonment. The accused, by then 29, had been in custody for two years. Judgment was scheduled for 10 September 2026.
