Donny M., the man suspected of being involved in the death of Gino, the nine-year-old child whose body was found on Saturday morning in Geelen in Dutch Limburg, will be heard on Tuesday in Roermond, the Netherlands, said Monday morning a spokesperson for the public prosecutor’s office in Maastricht.
According to information from HLN, the suspect would have made his first victims at the age of 12, in the crèche which was run by his foster mother. It was a woman from Sittard, mother of one of the alleged victims, who testified in the columns of our colleagues, explaining that at that time, “Donny was too young to be punished”.
It was ten years ago, when she gave custody of her son to Donny’s mother. “I dropped my child off at this crèche for the first time when he was three months old. It was practical, because I worked at night,” she says. But the mother of the family noticed, shortly before her child’s first birthday, that when she went to pick him up, “his genitals were sometimes irritated”. “An investigation was opened and Donny confessed almost immediately,” adds the lady. Also according to her, Donny had at that time claimed that he was having trouble with his sexuality and that his parents were doing nothing to help him. “So he started attacking the children,” she adds.
An extremely disturbing testimony, shortly after the death of little Gino. According to the witness, Donny’s parents always minimized what he was doing. “They said it couldn’t be true, that Donny didn’t know what he was saying,” said the victim’s mother. “Donny was too young to be punished. Everyone advised me against going any further and taking steps. I had to console myself by telling myself that his foster mother could no longer take care of children and that Donny would therefore no longer cause victims, ”confides the lady.
But today, with the affair of little Gino, the mother of the family feels guilty. “I’m very angry and I feel a lot of guilt. What if I had gone further back then? Would other children have been spared? Would Gino still be alive? “laments the mother.
