The suspect mistakes the woman for another woman from whom he would receive twenty euros. “I was confused,” he says. The woman is startled and starts to hit and kick and falls to the ground. Van V. sits on her, tells her to stop screaming and squeezes her throat. “I thought, ‘this is it,'” the woman says. In desperation she presses her finger as hard as she can against the man’s left eye. Because of the closing of the throat, the man was previously prosecuted for attempted manslaughter, but that has now been weakened to assault.
