Man, 80, sentenced to 240 hours community service for convincing woman to commit suicide

An 80-year-old man from Breda was sentenced to 240 hours of community service, which is the highest possible amount, on Friday because the court in the Hague ruled that he had convinced a 32-year-old woman from Bodegraven to commit suicide. Hans D. was also handed a conditionally suspended sentence of 14 months in prison. The Public Prosecution Service (OM) had recommended 14 months in prison against D. with seven months of these conditionally suspended.
