Cruising-zone killer jailed for 13 years
A 44-year-old man known as J W has been jailed for 13 years and psychiatric prison for stabbing a man to death in a well-known gay-cruising area in Lierop, near Helmond.
The victim was a 77-year-old man who visited the wood, close to the motorway, on a daily basis.
W denied any involvement with the death and refused to testify during the court hearing. During the case it emerged W had previously been found guilty of killing his mother, news agency ANP reports.
