At the snackbar, he encountered the later victim, who he claimed had previously robbed him. The victim allegedly intimidated him and struck him first. The snackbar owner stated that the victim had entered earlier asking for food without payment and was later asked to leave.
Surveillance footage shows the victim entering the snackbar and confronting L. while he waited for his order. L. was verbally attacked in Arabic, and the victim leaned over him, threatening him. The snackbar owner managed to push the victim outside again.
“Ik was al angstig vanaf de eerste klap. Hij was heel onvoorspelbaar en hij leek door het dolle te zijn. Ik kon hem niet peilen en wist niet wat er zou gebeuren.”
— Jerryl L.
After being struck again outside, L. returned inside, followed by the victim. During the confrontation, L. grabbed a knife from his pocket and stabbed the victim multiple times. The victim managed to run to a nearby café but succumbed to his injuries later.
The Public Prosecution Service argues that L.’s actions were excessive and not self-defense, seeking a 9-year prison sentence. They assert that the victim’s attack had already ended.
L. has a history of conflicts that day, including being removed from a café for loud phone calls and having disputes with neighbors. He carried a knife due to feeling insecure, with a blood alcohol level of 1.7.
L. claims he is not an aggressive person, but the court questioned his past convictions for vandalism, threats, and assault. A psychologist noted his long-standing behavioral issues and substance use as contributing factors.
