The man accused of abducting and killing 11-year-old Nicky Verstappen in 1998 has been found guilty of sexually assaulting the boy and of causing his death, whether deliberately or by accident.
The public prosecution department had said during the trial that Jos Brech should be found guilty of manslaughter but this, the court ruled, was not proven. Nevertheless, the court sentenced him to 12 years for the assault and his role in the boy’s death, plus a further six months for the possession of child pornography. The public prosecution department had called for a 15 year sentence to be followed by compulsory psychiatric detention. Brech has always denied killing the boy and said the DNA evidence on his body had been transferred when he checked the boy’s body to see if he was alive. The court, however, said the transfer was the result of lengthy and intensive contact ‘which would indicate a sexual motive’. Nicky disappeared from a summer camp in Brunssummerheide, Limburg on August 10, 1998 and his body was found the next day over a kilometre away. The case was unsolved for 20 years until a mass DNA profiling exercise in 2018 linked Brech to the crime via family members. Prosecutors say 27 traces of DNA on Nicky’s body and clothing match the suspect’s profile. The development led to a Europe-wide search for Brech, who had been reported missing by his family in April 2018. He was tracked down to a remote area outside Barcelona where he was living in the wild, and has been held in custody ever since. https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2020/1...-manslaughter/

I don’t think Nicky V was the evil one Arista.
Very tragic for the young boy, I’m glad that the killer has finally been caught.

New testimony from prison mate introduced in case of murdered 11-year-old Nicky Verstappen There is a new witness in the case about the sexual abuse and death of 11-year-old Nicky Verstappen, for which Jos B. was convicted last year. A statement by a person who spent time in prison with B. said B. discussed the criminal offenses in the case with him, 1Limburg reports based on documents from the Den Bosch Court of Appeal. Jos B. was sentenced to 12 years in prison in November last year for abducting and sexually abusing the 11-year-old boy, resulting in his death. This happened in 1998, while Nicky was on summer camp in the Brunssummerheide. Both the Public Prosecution Service (OM) and B.'s lawyer appealed against the ruling. B.'s fellow inmate was questioned as a witness by the police on June 3, during which he gave the incriminating testimony. B. was questioned again in July, and disputed the statement saying that he "never discussed the substance of the case with anyone, including the witness", according to the court document. It is not clear exactly what the allegedly incriminating statement entails. Neither the OM nor B.'s lawyer would comment to 1Limburg about it. The substantive handling of the appeal will start in November. Another pro-forma hearing is scheduled for next month. Jos B, suspect in Nicky verstappen murder case
