OM: cell for 16-year-old boy after stabbing in the back of 12-year-old girl Inland

According to the OM, it seems that the boy wanted to kill an acquaintance of his that day. He would have tried to make an appointment with her on the day in question, but she did not respond, according to the judiciary. It is possible that the suspect then looked for another random victim out of frustration. In his phone, the police found the note “Plan to kill her on July 26. Execute plan on July 29, 2021.”

The stabbing caused widespread unrest in the area. In the search for the perpetrator, the police had a composite drawing of the suspect made. The TV programs Team West and Opsporing Verzocht covered the case in September, after which tips led to the boy’s arrest.

According to the OM, the investigation of the telephone shows that the boy must have been near the scene of the crime at the time of the incident. The boy himself declares that he has been to a neighboring football field. The suspect’s problems with alcohol and drugs are a source of concern to the public prosecutor. The boy should therefore be treated and supervised, he believes.

The juvenile court will give its verdict on May 12.
