Parents of twins from Vleuten suspected of serious child abuse, father also of attempted manslaughter

Prison sentences demanded against members of the Leerdam drug gang

The girls’ parents say they were completely surprised at the time by the injuries found on their daughters. They firmly deny that they abused their daughters and would have desperately searched for possible explanations. For example, the injury could be caused during several, sometimes long, bike rides. They were sitting in a Maxi-Cosi in the bicycle trailer, the bumping could be a possible cause. “There may well have been a leg double, but there was no sound,” said the mother. “The moment something like that would have happened, they would have cried anyway,” added the father.
