In Curaçao, severe sentences have been requested for three of the four suspects involved in the armed home invasion that resulted in the death of Royal Dutch Marechaussee officer Toon Brood in May. The prosecutor is seeking a maximum penalty of 28 years for one suspect due to aggravating circumstances. Brood’s wife, Sonja, described the incident as a ‘nightmare’ and expressed ongoing fears for her family’s safety. The case will formally adjourn on January 8, 2024, with a verdict expected on January 29, 2024.
