Bizarre murder attempt: man stabs his own wife in hospital toilet | Inland

The woman had an appointment at Het Groene Hart hospital on 23 August 2019. The man waited for her there, pulled her into a toilet, locked the door, and stabbed her. The suspect was handcuffed by police officers at the hospital with bloody hands.

The couple had been having relationship problems for some time. The man had said several times that he would kill the woman. Shortly before the incident, he bought two knives. According to the court, he went to hospital to kill the woman if she did not want to make amends. As a result, there is premeditated advice, according to the court.

Reduced accountability

A personality survey of the man showed that he is less accountable. The researchers estimate the risk of relational violence to be repeated as high. Therefore, long-term, intensive treatment is necessary. This will be difficult, it is expected, partly because the man puts the cause of the problems on others, minimizes his own role and does not see the need for behavioral treatment.
