The former dentistry student who is in custody for stalking and threatening UG and UMCG staff will most likely undergo evaluation at the Pieter Baan Centre (PBC) in March. Until then, Marwa M. will remain in pre-trial detention, the Groningen court ruled on Thursday during the fifth pro forma hearing.
M. is currently detained at the Zwolle Penitentiary awaiting psychiatric evaluation at the PBC. Her lawyer once again argued for a suspension of pre-trial detention, but the judge denied the request. The next pro forma hearing is scheduled for April 8. By then, M. may have completed the evaluation at the PBC, and a date for the detailed hearing can then be set.
