Danny Castledine was just 22 years old when he was murdered whilst on holiday. He arrived in Amsterdam on the 31st of May, as did a 22 year old Belgian man, Nongo Takanaki, who was under investigation for multiple crimes that had been committed over a span of 7 years. That evening, Danny and his friend, Bailey, went out for a drink in a bar. However, both their drinks were spiked and their phones were stolen. They became disorientated and inadvertently split up. Danny began to ask passers-by for directions back to his hotel. Nongo agreed to help him, but led him around quiet areas of the city. Danny realised he wasn't trying to help him, and proceeds to leave. Yet, Nongo, high on drugs and a knife in his pocket, chases him down and proceeds to stab him 44 times in the head, neck, face and hands. He claims not to remember his motve for the crime, and so feels no remorse. An investigation revealed 17 other previous offences for forging prescriptions, dealing drugs, assault, violent disorder, carrying knives and machetes and using them in a threatening manner towards others. He received 14 years, a sentence he is currently appealing under the pretence of it being too harsh.
