The court in Maastricht will broadcast the verdict in the Nicky Verstappen case directly via the internet. If names are mentioned during the reading of the verdict next Friday, they will be paged out.
The Public Prosecution Service (OM) recently demanded fifteen years in prison and TBS with forced nursing against Jos B. for kidnapping, abusing and killing Nicky Verstappen in 1998. B. denies any involvement and his lawyer Gerald Roethof has asked for acquittal.
According to B. he found the body of the child on the heather and straightened his clothes. He said he did not dare to call the police because of his moral history. The man’s DNA was found on Nicky’s pajama pants and underwear.
A DNA match with B. was discovered in 2018. After a manhunt, he was arrested in Spain.
The verdict starts at 1.30 pm and will also be followed via a live blog and a livestream at NU.nl.
