The court in The Hague is Monday and Tuesday the revision process in the case about the murder of record producer Bart van der Laar in 1981.
Hunnik known initially guilt and was sentenced in 1984 for manslaughter, but later he withdrew his statement. In 2003 resulted in new information mean that a revised application was presented by Hunniks lawyers.
“New expert findings make the confessions of Hunnik are not sufficiently reliable for a judicial finding,” said the OM Monday.
“the behavior experts now established a link between his psychopathology and taking confessions. thus, the confessions are not credible and can therefore no longer be used in evidence.”
Relief
Hunnik has his sentence already served, he was then sentenced to two years in prison and tBS (then tbr).
“it’s a huge relief,” he responded to the decision by the PPS. “A burden of me falls off. This is not all good, but I’m not complaining but bear.”
“It’s a pity that my father and mother may not live to see this,” said Hunnik . “It’s for the family also has been a big nightmare. My parents had to move.” He feels again largely free man. “That gives peace.”
New research
The new study looked at Hunnik for proceedings before the Supreme Court. It showed that he had a tendency to distort the truth and to beautify and he even invented stories. If the unreliability of statements during the proceedings had been known, Hunnik was probably acquitted, the Supreme Court concluded last May. The board referred the case back to the court.
new statements from witnesses also arose the suspicion that others are responsible for the death of Van der Laar. According to them, was slain victims by two acquaintances of his, on behalf of a business partner. These two can not be prosecuted because the matter is barred
