The public prosecutor believes H.’s story, but she hopes that he will seek help to find a solution to his situation. As long as that does not happen, she believes there is a good chance that he will commit the error again after serving his sentence. He claimed that he had only threatened during the robbery, but the Kruidvat employee feared for her life when he forced her into a corner with the knife the length of her forearm. “I thought he was going to kill me. I wanted to leave, but there was no room. I thought he was going to stab me if I didn’t cooperate,” she said later.
