(NL Times) The fourth and last day of the [trial] against Gokmen T., suspected of killing four people in a mass shooting on a tram in Utrecht last year, had a tumultuous start. For the third time, T. was removed from the courtroom, this time for spitting at the judges and insulting them and their mothers, according to AD‘s live blog on the trial.
T. was taken to a separate room, from where he can follow the trial via video feed. When a judge asked T. if he wanted to respond to the life sentence the public prosecutor demanded against him on Thursday, the 38-year-old man responded: “I piss on all of you, children of whores.” And: “Give my regards to your mother.”
The judge did not seem to be too impressed by T.’s outburst. “I’ll take that into consideration,” the judge said. “I cannot take this seriously.”
