There is too little legal evidence to prove that Sanil B. was involved in the Waddinxveen man’s death, the court ruled this afternoon, according to NU.nl reports.
That means that no one has been convicted for Heuvelman's death. The court did convict the group of men from Hilversum of nightlife violence on the island during the early hours of 14 July 2021.
The court called the manslaughter acquittal very disappointing for the victim’s loved ones. However, according to the judge, a trace of Heuvelman’s DNA found on Sanil B.’s shoe combined with witness statements is not sufficient to conclude without doubt what happened.
The 27-year-old victim was beaten up at around 2:00 a.m. on July 14, 2021.
The perpetrators kicked him multiple times as he lay unconscious on the ground.
He died four days later in the hospital due to a brain injury.
In addition to Heuvelman’s manslaughter, the suspects were also charged with a series of other violent acts, including attempted manslaughter during a fight at a bar.
A total of seven suspects from Hilversum were involved in the case stemming from a vicious assault on Carlo Heuvelman during a night out.

Peter PerfectSince when is Arnhem-Leeuwarden in Spain?!
It is not Spanish law, far worse. In Holland the justice department is run by the left and has caused already for many years for very low convictions. Sex offenders, murderers, they all come away with no or very low convictions. Especially the "group law" is weak. In this case none of the group that murdered Carlo told anything. Any logic person would judge and send them all to jail, not in Holland, the judge concludes they can not prove who did give the kick that killed him, so they let them go. I have a friend who works as a supermarket manager. When they catch a thief and call the police, my friend is still filling in papers on the police station while the thief already returns to the store. Happens all the time.
And the guilty get off again. Jeez Spanish law sucks.
