Five convicts from the Mallorca casein which the death of Carlo Heuvelman was central, for the time being do not have to pay more than 200,000 euros in compensation to the girlfriend of Heuvelman. They also do not have to pay grief money to his family. The Supreme Court has determined this, after five of the seven convicted men had gone in cassation against the compensation.
The Court of Appeal pointed the girlfriend of Heuvelman earlier compensation from 218,057 euros, which had to be paid by the convicted persons. According to the lawyer of them, “the legal basis” was missing for the allocation and therefore cassation was established.
The Supreme Court has now stipulated that the Arnhem-Leeuwarden Court of Appeal must again see whether the claim is properly substantiated. The Supreme Court doubts whether the convicted people have had a sufficient chance of defending themselves against the claim. When the Court of Appeal will consider the case is still unclear, writes the regional broadcaster NH.
The Supreme Court has also determined that the parents of Heuvelman are not entitled to grief money. According to the judge, grief money is personal and it is only intended to mitigate the suffering of the victim himself. Because Heuvelman fell into a coma after the mistreatment, he was never able to get to know the suffering inflicted. His parents are therefore not eligible for grief money, according to the Supreme Court.
Summer 2021
The 27-year-old Heuvelman from Waddinxveen was mistreated in the summer of 2021 in Mallorca in such a way that he got into a coma and died a few days later. The suspects were members of a group of friends from Hilversum and the surrounding area who were also on vacation on Mallorca. They have always been silent about who was guilty of the fatal abuse and there were no camera images.
Main suspect Sanil B. was acquitted of co -perpetrating manslaughter on Carlo Heuvelman due to a lack of evidence. B. did, however, receive a 32 -month prison sentence on appeal, three of which were conditional, for attempted manslaughter of two other people and for open violence.
In addition to Sanil B., six suspects were finally imposed. Mees T. and Hein B. received 14 and 15 months in prison for open violence, Kaan B. and Daan van S. were given 11 months, of which 83 days were conditional, Lukas O. was sentenced to 18 days in prison and a community service sentence of 240 hours and Stan F. was sentenced to 110 hours.
