Players face charges over linesman's death

A DUTCH prosecutor is set to press charges against three teenaged players after the death of a linesman during a youth soccer competition.

Richard Nieuwenhuizen, 41, died on Monday after an incident following an Under-17 match in Almere on Sunday. He was officiating for the Buitenboys team, in which his son was playing.

Police arrested three members of the Nieuw-Sloten Amsterdam youth team after the incident, in which the linesman fell to the ground.

Nieuwenhuizen collapsed hours after the match and was taken to hospital. He died the following day.
