Fouad L., a 35-year-old medical student from Rotterdam, was sentenced to life imprisonment for killing his neighbor Marlous, her daughter Romy and a doctor named Jurgen. He appealed and appointed Theo Hiddema as his new lawyer. The appeal proceedings in the case have been allocated six days.

The account describes the appeal as taking place three years after the three killings, but it does not provide further details about the proceedings or their current status.
