Man who killed daughter (8) in hospital in court | Inland

Suspect Steve B. (42) has previously admitted that he stabbed his daughter in the chest with scissors and left her in a room in the radiology department. Late in the evening, the girl was found at his direction, very badly injured. The child died during an emergency operation. B. has stated that he cannot remember why he stabbed his daughter.

Fears and delusions

In the evening of March 15 last year, B. and Diya were in the Maasstad Hospital for complaints that B. had. The suspect from Hoogvliet at the time was troubled by fears and delusions, for which he repeatedly raised the alarm at authorities. The inspectorate investigated this and concluded that care providers did not pick up on signals sufficiently, but that the death of the girl could not be prevented.

The psychiatrist and psychologist at the Pieter Baan Center advise the court to at least impose compulsory treatment on the suspect. They also do not rule out that B. was completely insane when he stabbed his daughter. That could mean that the crime cannot be held against him. B. would then be obliged to undergo intensive psychiatric treatment.
