- Voor Veira is het totaal onbegrijpelijk dat Edenburg vóór het verhoor al in verzekering was gesteld. “We kunnen niet à la dol mensen in verzekering stellen. Een objectief onderzoek zou in feite op basis van hoor en wederhoor moeten zijn. En in dit stadium ben ik van mening dat dat niet is toegepast”, benadrukt de raadsman.
- To Mr Veira, it is totally incomprehensible that Mrs Edenburg had been taken into custody before being questioned. "We cannot take people into custody at random. Actually, an objective investigation should be based on hearing both sides. And at this stage I am of the opinion that this was not applied," the defence counsel stressed.
