Dutch father sentenced to 23 years for son's death in Belgium
An Antwerp court sentenced Rennlhy M. to 23 years in prison for the murder of his 14-year-old son, Jairon, who died in January 2022 in Turnhout, Belgium. The jury found that the father refused medical care for the severely ill boy, relying instead on prayer and home remedies, and concealed the body for eight weeks. The sentence exceeded the prosecutor's request by three years. Four other adults received suspended sentences, and the victim's mother expressed satisfaction with the verdict.
