Richard Nieuwenhuizen was doing what he loved: watching his son play football and helping out his local club by running the touchline as a volunteer linesman. Last Monday the 41-year-old father’s passion for football cost him his life.
Dutch public prosecutors announced on Tuesday that three players, two 15-year-olds and a 16-year-old, are charged with manslaughter, assault and public violence for alleged involvement in a vicious attack on Nieuwenhuizen after a youth match between two local clubs, Buitenboys and Nieuw Sloten. The players, whose identities were not released, will be arraigned on Thursday at a closed-door hearing. Link!
