The terrorist motive Malek F. "can not be excluded"

Malek F. (32 years old) knows this with certainty: he is pursued by devil worshipers who threaten him with death.

Since December 2017, F. sees Satanists who want to make his life miserable. They were at home, he thinks, where they broke his grill. They, according to F., also left dirty sticks, a tree leaf and a burnt plastic bag. At the same time, he is admitted to the Hospitals of The Hague Parnassia. He showed psychotic traits, later told a psychiatrist about F., and suffered from sweating delusions and hallucinations.

The psychological pressure that he suffered at that time, says lawyer Job Knoester at the pro-forma session Monday at Schiphol Extra-Security Court, led Malek F. to stab three people May 5th and wounded near the Hollands Spoor station in The Hague. F. is not a terrorist, says the lawyer, because he did not hurt the three victims to scare the entire population. The violence was not directed against the whole society. He did so according to Knoester because he wanted to regulate an inner psychic struggle.

Attorney Minks took time during the session for the trauma suffered by the victims of F. The D & # 39; He was "a young man in the power of his life" who has had nightmares ever since. He no longer dares to go to his job because he thinks everyone wants to stab him. There is another victim, with two little children, who does not see life anymore. His wife breaks out crying when the officer asks him about her during a visit. Minks: "She too is a victim."

' I love you, I'm going to die ', said the third victim, who was slaughtered, against his partner. A concise but necessary view, says Minks.
