Inquest into death at Stenden postponed

- ROB KNOWLES

THE inquest into the death of Stenden student Jurrien Wissink in June 2014 has been postponed until August 14.

Wissink died tragically while celebratin­g his 24th birthday with three of his friends at Stenden’s on-campus bar. Stenden closed the bar after the incident and does not allow on-campus drinking anymore.

The inquest began last Monday and continued for the whole week, with witnesses being questioned to determine if negligence was involved. It is still necessary for more informatio­n to be gathered in order to make a determinat­ion.
