Overview
- Judges ruled the killing qualified manslaughter because it was committed to conceal the sexual assault.
- The panel said evidence did not prove rape, resulting in a prison term below the 20 years sought by prosecutors.
- The court found him partially diminished in responsibility and ordered compulsory treatment due to a high assessed risk of reoffending.
- Police arrested him within days after recovering his DNA from the victim, and the body and belongings had been hidden in the woods.
- He previously received a TBS order in 2022 and was in limited-freedom treatment at GGZ Vrederust near the crime scene.
