Three suspects for role in shooting ‘Sambo on Krugerplein in East’
on clear motive
The judges consider a fixed date Zion Milano R. (23) Sambo shot dead with two bullets after a party in the Transvaalstraat. The motive for this is unclear. At the beginning of May, the justice system had demanded 20 years for murder, but the court considers it proven that it concerns the less serious manslaughter: without a plan in advance.
According to the verdict, R. walks with ‘deficient development of his mental faculties’ and ‘became an asocial life path’. “He has no job, no home and has been looking for detainees.” Still, he was accountable during the shooting.
Joshua van Z. (26) gets 4 years in prison plus TBS with compulsory treatment, because he helped R. in the ‘completely senseless’ fatal shooting, as evidenced by Snapchat conversations. According to the court, he has an intellectual disability from a developmental disorder. Justice had demanded 9 years in prison plus TBS with compulsory treatment. He had previously been admitted to TBS with compulsory treatment.
Disorders
The prison sentence for preventing murder.
Tyrone B. (29) gets 4 years in prison, of which 1 year to start, and not the advanced 5 years in prison plus TBS with compulsory treatment. Due to his congenital autism and his depression, he is less accountable. Tbs with compulsory treatment, because the danger that he can be curtailed is a serious crime and will be curtailed by him. The prison sentence for B. is also lower, because he is caused for complicity in manslaughter and not for developing co-perpetration of murder.
Prateek S. (31) is acquitted. Although it has been established that he was in the car with the firearm and was collected in Amsterdam-Zuidoost – which was later used as a getaway car – the court does not know when he was in that car.
