Episode Details

A man in Rozenburg was convicted for attempting to kill his partner using a new forensic method designed to detect strangulation in domestic violence cases — marking the first time this procedure was used in court. The attack, which left the victim turning blue, was interrupted by neighbors and stopped by police. The breakthrough forensic technique, developed in Rotterdam, allows doctors to quickly identify strangulation injuries before evidence fades — a critical step in preventing femicide. Despite the defense’s claim that he was intoxicated and acted to force sex, not kill, he received a 360-day sentence with 169 days suspended and 150 hours of community service. The tool’s rapid adoption — 150 referrals in just three months — underscores its vital role in catching perpetrators and stopping future violence.
