On February 18, 2018, B. and Orlando have an appointment. The Hagenaar picks up the teenager near his boat. Then the two are there for a few hours and just before midnight, the suspect drops Orlando off at a primary school nearby. B. says he sailed back and that Orlando would take the last train home.
But two witnesses, who speak to Orlando, declare that the Rotterdammer said that B. would take him home. “Now I’m in a fucking residential area,” Orlando would have said to the witness. ‘I’m from Rotterdam. I’m just dropped off here. ” B. Monday insists that Orlando would take the public transport home.
Body Orlando found
A week later, Orlando is found in the water, more than fifty yards from the side. Right where B.’s boat is, before moving it. The water was 1 degree. Most people drown from a cold shock within three minutes. When Orlando was found, he had no mud in his shoes. This indicates that he did not run before entering the water, while the water on the side is shallow. Roy B. responds: “He did not enter the water through me.”
B. made several statements to the police. He once stated that he saw Orlando swimming, in another statement he said that he only saw bubbles and during the trial he does not remember. ‘I also want to have clarity for everyone. But I don’t remember whether I’ve seen or heard things. I find that so difficult. I’m not sure anymore. “
Tricked
“I didn’t hurt that boy,” B. tells the judge. When asked why he did not call 112, the Hagenaar says: ‘I panicked. I didn’t know what to do. I thought it can’t be true. I froze. ” Prosecutor: “You did move your boat. That’s not freezing. “
Suspect Roy B. has the feeling that he is being framed. He says he doesn’t know how Orlando got into the water. A friend of his stated that B. said, “It is his own fault that he shouldn’t have gone swimming.” The suspect also said: “That body will not float to the surface in the next two weeks because of the temperature.” B. responded during the trial: “Yes, bye. I never said that, but how can I prove it. “
Lawsuit
The Public Prosecution Service (Public Prosecution Service) therefore sues B. for three things: mistreatment with the result of death, not actively mistreatment but precisely by leaving help and death through guilt or failure to provide help.
The court has reserved two days for the trial against B. On Monday, next of kin can use their right to speak. The Public Prosecution Service will speak on Thursday. Then the sentence also follows.
Orlando Boldewijn was in the water at a water temperature of 1 degrees. People can then drown through a cold shock. Thermophysiologist Hein Daanen of VU Amsterdam is an expert in the heat management of humans. According to him, a cold shock occurs within three minutes or a swimming failure within 5 to 10 minutes. The colshock often occurs when someone suddenly ends up in the water. “Falling off a boat,” he cites as an example. The expert explains that with swimming failure you stop the muscles. You are aware, but you go under. If an adult gets underwater, he has irreversible brain damage after 4 to 10 minutes. If someone enters the water step by step, the chance of a cold shock is smaller.
