The two teenagers who left their newborn daughter in a garbage container in Amsterdam-Zuidoost in February 2021 were sentenced to 15 months of juvenile detention on Tuesday. The sentence also covers the killing and burial of another baby in 2019.

The trial against two teenagers accused of leaving their newborn daughter in a garbage container on Meernhof in Amsterdam in 2021 starts on Monday. In addition to attempted manslaughter, the two are also suspected in the death of another baby in 2019.

The men convicted of killing defense attorney Derk Wiersum are also considered “potential suspects” in a nighttime shooting in Paramaribo in which two people were killed in May 2019. The Surinamese police reported on Thursday that the Dutch police “recently” traveled to Paramaribo to take part in a follow-up investigation into this case, with investigators from Suriname’s cold case squad working alongside Amsterdam police.

The parents that allegedly abandoned their newborn girl in an underground garbage container on Meernhof in Amsterdam-Zuidoost in early 2021 are now suspected of murdering another baby at an earlier date, Het Parool reported on Wednesday. A spokesperson for the Public Prosecution Service confirmed the allegation when contacted by the newspaper.
