Fifty-Year Marriage Ends in Tragedy

An 81-year-old man in Assen has been sentenced to ten years in prison for murdering his 72-year-old wife—whose body was found in a canal with a plastic bag over her head. He confessed, claiming he snapped because she no longer wanted sex, but the court labeled it “pure femicide,” highlighting the extreme violence. She was planning to leave him, having already started researching new places to live; he had taken her bank card, keys, and ID. The court emphasized that her refusal to comply with his desires was the fatal trigger. Despite his age and health, the judges ruled that the core issue was control and entitlement, not just a momentary breakdown. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
