Ex-boyfriend gets 5-year prison sentence for killing Ginelva Deira (38) in Amsterdam-West

Misael L. has been sentenced to five years in prison for the death of his ex-girlfriend, Ginelva Deira, who died in August 2024 after sustaining a fatal wound in her Amsterdam-West home. Although L. claimed the injury was accidental, the court found him responsible for her death following a domestic dispute.

On August 16, 2024, 38-year-old Ginelva Deira was found bleeding severely in her apartment on the Chasséstraat in Amsterdam-West. She was transported to a hospital where she passed away two days later due to a severed artery. Her ex-boyfriend, Misael L., who was present at the scene, claimed that she had accidentally fallen onto a glass shard. However, the court rejected this explanation, citing the force required for such a deep wound and additional defensive injuries found on her arm.

The court determined that Misael L. was responsible for Deira's death, noting a history of domestic violence between the couple. Witnesses reported hearing a heated argument in the apartment shortly before the incident, allegedly triggered by a dispute regarding the suspect's treatment of Deira's daughter. While the court did not find sufficient evidence to prove intent to kill, it sentenced L. to five years in prison. The ruling also includes a behavioral and liberty-restricting measure to ensure long-term monitoring following his release.
