The man fled on November 30 while on supervised leave in Nijmegen and later that day stabbed a 27-year-old woman in Soest. She was seriously injured. The perpetrator and the victim knew each other. According to the police it is intimate partner violence.
The 31-year-old TBS man managed to escape his supervisor thanks to accomplices and a waiting car. The OM suspects the teenager and his 38-year-old mother of accomplices.
Earlier, a nineteen-year-old man was also arrested on suspicion of aiding the escape. He was released on Monday afternoon and is no longer a suspect in the investigation.
According to Rijnmond the sixteen-year-old boy was present for a long time in the apartment where the forensic detainee attacked the victim. The 27-year-old woman was said to have been stabbed no fewer than twelve times with a carving knife. She asked the boy for help, but the teenager did nothing, according to the regional broadcaster.
According to the Ministry of Justice, the TBS evasion has “for the moment” no consequences on the assisted leave system. The first assessment shows that the supervisor cannot be blamed for any errors. He was experienced and had been out of the clinic many times while on leave with TBS.
The 31-year-old TBS’er had already been convicted of a violent crime. He then received eight years in prison and TBS for manslaughter of a Rotterdam woman.
