World2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported33m ago
Corné H. has been sentenced to a one-year suspended prison sentence for the hostage-taking of three penitentiary institution employees and the threat of five others in Vught last December.
Because the perpetrator is considered to have significantly diminished responsibility and all parties benefit from his continued placement in a psychiatric care clinic (tbs-kliniek), he will not be required to return to prison.
