Father sentenced to 23 years in prison for murder of his son Jairon (14) from Tilburg
Rennlhij M., father of 14-year-old Jairon from Tilburg, was sentenced to 23 years in prison by an Antwerp court for murdering his son, a term exceeding the prosecutor's request of 20 years. The jury found that medical help could have saved Jairon, who died in January 2022 after weeks of illness, but his father refused treatment due to religious beliefs. Four other household members received suspended sentences for withholding care, while one suspect was acquitted.
