The Public Prosecution Service sought an eight-year prison sentence for Yanawit S. (34), who allegedly entered his ex-girlfriend’s home in Volendam at around 4 a.m. in September while carrying two knives and dressed in black. Prosecutors said he intended to kill her and described the case as showing clear signs of attempted femicide. S. said he had gone to collect his belongings. The woman, her mother and her brother were in the house. The woman said she had feared S. for a long time and alleged that he had previously told her: “If I can’t have you, then no one can have you.” No verdict is given in the available account.
