Dutch Prosecutors Secure First Conviction Using New Strangulation Detection Method
Dutch prosecutors have used a new method for identifying attempted strangulation in 78 domestic violence cases, leading to a first conviction last week. The method, implemented starting in September 2023, goes beyond visible bruising to detect internal injuries, according to reporting from NOS.
Previously, investigations primarily focused on external signs like neck bruising. The new approach also examines for internal bleeding, recognizing that strangulation attempts often leave little visible evidence while causing significant internal damage.
The Public Prosecution Service (Openbaar Ministerie) initiated the new procedure to quickly determine if a domestic violence victim had been strangled. This method aims to improve the identification of these often-hidden assaults, which are considered a significant risk factor in femicide cases.
