Netherlands shooter sentenced to 14 years for three Rotterdam murders

Friday, 17 April 2026, 12:13 · 1 min read

A Dutch court has sentenced 25-year-old Sendric S. to 14 years in prison, plus compulsory psychiatric detention (tbs), for the murders of three men in Rotterdam's IJsselmonde neighbourhood between December 2024 and January 2025. The victims — aged 63, 58, and 81 — were shot at random on the street; S. confessed to the killings, claiming he acted "on the orders of voices," which led the court to hold him only partially responsible. The sentence was lower than the 20 years sought by prosecutors, partly to allow S. to begin psychiatric treatment sooner, as multiple disorders have been diagnosed.
