Jeweler Willy S. was raided last year by two robbers in his store in Deurne. His wife intervened and shot the two men dead. S. heard Friday held the judgment of the court prohibited weapon.
Willy S. gets a hundred hours of community service plus a suspended prison sentence for four months. Elsevier.nl put five questions and answers about this matter in a row.
1. What is Willy S. exactly condemned?
S. the punishment is because he had purchased a firearm after an armed robbery at his shop in 2010. In addition to the gun S. had also ammunition (38 patterns), surge weapon and teargas canister purchased. The firearm was loaded into the store.
2. S. Why is found guilty?
It is undeniable that S. had a gun possession, that he should not have. Yet asked his lawyer not to punish his client. The lawyer thought that Willy S. had been punished enough. The Public Prosecutor held the requirement into account the fact that Willy S. has had to fight for his life, but the possession of weapons of S. and his wife would have led to escalation .
The Court East Brabant agrees. “The court tilt heavily to illegal possession of firearms. In this case is insistently shown what danger lies in the uncontrolled possession of a firearm. Therefore, action should be taken strictly against it. “
In addition, S. was aware that he had not taken the weapon in his shop. “He had after all have to surrender a firearm after he had lost his gun license after a conviction for a violent offense.”
3. The penalty is high?
Although it seems unjust that Willy S. is now being punished, the verdict had a lot heavier can unpack. The court says that S. for possession of weapons in a prison could reach four to five months. In the judgment, the court takes into account ‘punishment moderating circumstances. “
Willy S.’s lawyer asked to find his client guilty without imposing a penalty. “What does this requirement to the suffering caused to the couple?” said lawyer Jan-Hein Kuijpers when the requirement was announced late last month.
“The court finds the facts; rather too seriously. Furthermore, the waiver of a penalty would send the wrong signal to society. ” Also, the prosecution said earlier that the society “not served” with illegal weapons.
4. Why the woman is not condemned?
This also asked lawyer Kuijpers wondered. “Why Marina and Willy does not persecute?” In October, the prosecution stated that the woman could shoot to defend herself and her husband when they were attacked.
In that decision, the prosecution also took note that jeweler’s wife Marina is severely traumatized by all the events. “They will have to live with the knowledge that she has slain two young people,” said chief prosecutor Bart Nieuwenhuizen.
5. Whatever already happened on the fateful day?
On March 28, two robbers Goldies jewelry store in Deurne. One of the two sprayed pepper spray on the face of Willy S. His wife was able to follow the events through the surveillance back in the office.
When the robbers threatened to shoot her husband, shot by Marina S. a small doorway, the first robber down. The second robber was Willy S. wrestling when he was shot by Marina S
