A 51-year-old man, Emad A., has been sentenced to 22 years in prison for the murder of 38-year-old Elias Assaf in Heiloo. The court found him guilty of killing Assaf, whose dismembered body was discovered weeks later in Amsterdam and buried in Germany. Despite initially denying his involvement, Emad later confessed but offered inconsistent accounts regarding the motive. The court ruled that there was evidence of premeditated murder, as he purchased tools like an axe and saw before the crime. The judges criticized him for lacking respect towards Assaf’s remains and not fully disclosing the events leading to the murder.
