Youth faces five years for New Year killing
The public prosecution department says the 16-year-old boy accused of killing a postman in the village of Zaamslag during the New Year celebrations should face five years in jail.
The youth was one of a group of boys who attacked 56-year-old Peter Herwegh with a hammer. The suspect told a court in Middelburg he was drunk and had no idea what he was doing.
