(NL Times) Two men attempted to attack a suspect during a hearing at the court in Utrecht on Thursday. Officers were able to restrain the two men before they got to Mohamed B., who is accused of destroying 117 graves at the Daelwijck cemetery in Overvecht, Utrecht. The two men were removed from the court after the incident.
B. allegedly kicked and smashed the graves with a hammer in May of last year. The Public Prosecution Service (OM) has recommended that the 22-year-old from Vleuten be given a five-year prison sentence. “The destruction saddened hundreds of people,” the prosecutor said.
There was a lack of evidence to charge B. with terrorism-related motives. A few months ago, the OM suspected B. of participating with a terrorist group and preparing severe crimes like explosions.
