Wednesday, October
29, 2025 - A Dutch national caught in a viral video verbally abusing and
spitting at a police officer in Diani has publicly apologized.
The tourist identified as Elwin Ter Horst, who claims to
suffer from psychosis, said he was in distress and hadn’t eaten or taken his
medication at the time of the incident.
In the video, Horst is seen being escorted by officers into
a car as he pleads with Kenyans to forgive him.
“Apologies, I have psychosis and need my medicine. I want to
live in this country, invest here, and help the people of Kenya.”
The incident occurred on Tuesday, October 28th,
2025, at Boma Banda Cottage along Beach Road. Police reports indicate Horst had
caused a disturbance, destroyed property, and assaulted his girlfriend, Angela
Atieno Onduru.
Officers from Diani Police Station responded swiftly after
receiving complaints from residents.
Msambweni OCPD Robinson Langat confirmed that the girlfriend
had been rescued and taken to hospital, while Horst had locked himself in his
room.
After lengthy negotiations, he was arrested and later
charged with multiple offences, including drug trafficking, assault, malicious
damage, creating a disturbance, and being unlawfully present in Kenya.
Langat emphasized that Kenya’s laws apply to all, regardless
of nationality.
“Any form of abuse or misconduct will lead to prosecution
and deportation,” he warned.
