On the morning of the murder, the victim ended the relationship on the advice of the mental health care provider via WhatsApp, for fear that Van den D. would become violent again. She previously reported assault and rape to the police. After the app, Van den D. drove to Den Bosch, where his ex went to her parents with their child. He saw her just in front of the shopping center at the Ploossche Hof. According to the court, he stabbed her there “directly and purposefully thirty times in the upper body and her neck”.
