Prosecutors again sought a 14-year prison sentence on appeal for Robert L., the former partner of Suzanne Boon, over her 2016 killing. Boon, 51, was found strangled in woodland near Nunspeet after she had been reported missing. Robert L. was acquitted last year, prompting the prosecution's appeal.

The prosecution said there is sufficient evidence for a conviction, citing statements by three people who said the location where Boon was found lay on a fishing route they had often taken with L. It also said Boon had no driving licence, making it unlikely she travelled to Nunspeet alone. L. has remained silent about what happened, according to the prosecution.
