Jos Verstappen charged with attempted murder

[GermanF1]

Some sport sites report that Jos Verstappen (who seems to have a history of violence) has apparently attempted to kill his ex-girlfriend by running over her with his car. He is currently remanded in custody. His ex-girlfriend, thanks god, has only a few bruises and is fine...

Here are two links for the news:

Bloody Nora, would never of thought that Jos Vestappen was a nutter.

Hopefully he'll get a sentencing for the attempted of killing his ex. Really hope she's ok, and goes on to find a man worthy of her!

He'll probably get sentenced to jail, mainly because of his other incidents in the past. Most current news on this is that he will likely be held in custody for more than 2 weeks as there is enough evidence that he did in fact hit her.

Full story is that she tried to get out at a stoplight after an argument in his van (they had already broken up due to earlier minor incidents, but she wanted to talk and he drove her home, what a gentleman) but he then sped up so she fell on the street, and he drove into her shortly after that.

I'll try to post updates on the case in this thread for anyone interested.

Jos the Boss won't be pleased!

This guy sounds like a weird serial killer from Scary Movie or something!

I'm not pleased! Never was good at driving though was he...

I'm afraid this accident was not down to his poor driving...

Her only getting bruises was...

Hahaha I had a shit day, but that really made up for it

Nothing really new, he's still in custody and he has a second lawyer now. Oh, and there are 3 more offenses he is suspected of, but it's still unknown what those are. They're still building a case.

Update: he'll get out of custody tomorrow. The charges against him for attempted murder (the driving into his ex) have been dropped. He's still suspected of earlier abuse and destruction but the details of this are still unknown to the public.
