British student stabbed to death in Amsterdam, inquest hears A British student was stabbed to death during a trip to Amsterdam before he was dragged and left at the bottom of steps, an inquest has heard.
Danny Castledine, 22, sustained 44 wounds near the Singel canal in the Dutch capital in June 2022, when he was with a friend on the way to a music festival in Belgium.
At Nottingham Coroner's Court on Tuesday, assistant coroner Nathanael Hartley concluded he was unlawfully killed, with the cause of death recorded as "multiple stab wounds".
Detective Constable Gina Farrell of Nottinghamshire Police told the hearing she was told Mr Castledine became "separated" from his friend "after 1am".
The court heard in January a Belgian national, referred to as Nongo B, was found guilty of manslaughter in a Dutch court and jailed for 14 years.
