Six teens, one father jailed for beating Dutch linesman to death

A Dutch court rules that six teenagers and one father are to be jailed for beating linesman Richard Nieuwenhuizen to death last year.

Six teenagers and one father have been jailed for beating Dutch linesman Richard Nieuwenhuizen to death.

The 50-year-old man has been handed a six-year sentence, while the teens aged between 15 to 17 will be in youth detention with another serving a year.

The incident, which involved a group of players attacking the match official, occurred in December at the end of an Under-17 clash between Nieuw Sloten and Buitenboys.

"The seven suspects are guilty of hitting the linesman's head and upper body," Sky Sports News quotes the judge from the Dutch court as saying.

An eighth suspect was found innocent of the killing.
