Haarlemse steekpartij - Arrest

Haarlemse steekpartij (HR 07-05-1985, NJ 1985, 821)

Casus

Verdachte steekt iemand neer. Het slachtoffer overlijdt na een week. Is er nog wel sprake van causaal verband? Het hof was van mening dat het causale verband niet werd doorbroken, ongeacht of enig ander of sneller ingrijpen van de artsen iets hadden kunnen veranderen. De raadsman vindt dat de causaliteit ontbreekt, nu de artsen wellicht hadden kunnen ingrijpen.

Rechtsvraag

Kan men iemand van het leven beroven op een tijdstip (ruimschoots) voorafgaand aan het daadwerkelijke overlijden van het slachtoffer?

Hoge Raad

De Hoge Raad gebruikt in haar beoordeling de 'leer van de redelijke toerekening'. Er wordt niet uitgesloten dat de mogelijkheid bestaat dat het slachtoffer nog in leven was indien de artsen anders hadden gehandeld. Dat staat volgens de Hoge Raad echter niet in de weg aan het feit dat de verdachte opzet op de dood van het slachtoffer had. Het ontbreken of tekortschieten van medische hulp, neemt de aansprakelijkheid van de verdachte niet weg.

NB. Bij opzetdelicten zal causaliteit al snel worden aangenomen.
