Ministry admits mistakes in Zierikzee family killing

The public prosecution department has admitted it had made a mistake by not warning a woman living in Zierikzee that her violent husband was being released from jail.


The woman had been threatened by her husband. Two weeks after the release, he killed two of their three children, tried to kill her and later shot himself in the head.
