Dutch National Elwin Ter Horst who Assaulted Police in Diani Released for Being Bipolar.

Dutch national Elwin Ter Horst, arrested two weeks ago for assaulting a police officer in Diani, Kwale County, has been released unconditionally after Senior Resident Magistrate Joy Mutimba ruled he is unfit to stand trial, following a Port Reitz Hospital report confirming he suffers from bipolar disorder and another condition that prevents him from taking a plea.

According to court documents, Ter Horst had been facing four charges, including drug trafficking, assault causing bodily harm, malicious damage to property, and creating a disturbance.

Last month, the Dutchman was captured in a video verbally attacking, humiliating and spitting at a police officer at the Diani Police Station and was detained for 14 days.

This came after Senior Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions (SADPP) Rosemary Nandi asked the court for more time to complete the investigations into the matter.

He was also accused of assaulting his Kenyan girlfriend, Angela Atieno, in a separate incident.
