The Rotterdam court sentenced 53-year-old Marcel B. to six years in prison for raping two girls, 13 and 15, in cellar boxes in Schiedam and Vlaardingen in 2010. The police arrested the man early last year after displaying a life-sized 3D hologram based on his description and then DNA testing possible matches.
Rotterdam mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb will visit the Schammenkamp on Friday, where an explosion happened last week, followed by a fire. Three people lost their lives in the incident. Aboutaleb will speak to the police and others who assisted after the incident. The mayor will then go to a nearby school where he will talk to inhabitants of the street in Rotterdam-Zuid where the explosion happened.
