LEGAL AID RULES ALLOW KILLERS TO RACK UP My husband was stabbed to death when our baby was only 11days old... and law stops me from finding out why

test and gave it to Jeroen. He was such an intelligent man but it took him a few minutes to realise what it meant. He was in shock but so, so happy.

“He wouldn’t leave my side when I was in labour and he was so emotional when he held Fleur for the first time. Neither of us could have imagined we’d only have 11 days together as a family.”

On December 29, 2015, Jereon left their Islington home in North London to observe the Dutch tradition of sending cards to announce a baby’s safe arrival.

Nadja said: “I told him we could go later but he insisted. I now wished I’d stopped him.”

Nandap believed voices were ordering him to kill someone as a sacrifice. An off-duty cop saw him attack Jeroen and rushed to help but was too late. Six days earlier the Crown Prosecution Service had dropped charges of possessing a knife and assaulting a cop against Nandap due to insufficient evidence.

Nandap punched and bit a cop when he was arrested in May 2015 for carrying two kitchen knives.

She said: “I was sitting with Fleur, taking pictures of her to send to friends, and he was already dead. I looked out of the window and saw all of the commotion on the street and I thought Jeroen was caught up in the crowds.”

Nadja told a cop Jeroen had not returned and the officer asked for a description. She said: “I feel so stupid because I said he was tall and good looking.”

Three officers came to the door saying they identified Jeroen through an ID card.

She said: “I didn’t think it was possible for my body to shake so much. I fell to the ground, holding Fleur. I think they were scared I was going to drop her.

“I asked to see Jeroen, I didn’t want him to be alone, but they wouldn’t let me.

“I couldn’t bear to be the one to tell his mum. The police said they would contact Interpol but nothing seemed to be happening so in the end I phoned my parents and they told his brother.”

Three days later, Nadja visited Jeroen
