A court case on the death of Mitch Henriquez, who died after being arrested at a music festival in The Hague, has been postponed until mid-November, reports ANP.

The trial of two police officers has been postponed because another expert needs to analyse the cause of death, a pre-trial hearing found on Thursday.

Initially a pathologist from the Dutch forensic institute, the NFI, had said the man died as a result of police violence, after officers used a choke hold. But late last month a forensic doctor for the defence said Henriquez died from heart failure.

Now the court, which met at a secure location at Schiphol airport, has asked for a third forensic analysis, postponing the case until later this year.
