The title here isn't very good. He was previously sentenced to 13 years in BC, which was then replaced with a 6 year sentence in accordance with Dutch law.
I personally take the stance that the justice system should be rehabilitative above all else, but I honestly don't see how someone like this can be rehabilitated. No normal person would be capable of committing such an unambiguously evil act, and it's a shame he can't be put away for life.
He's already been in jail for a while, and as far as I can tell, this new 6 years is added to the end of the current term he's serving already.
Edit: Confirmed, it is added. The mother of Amanda is praising the Dutch court because this is the longest penalty they're allowed to impose and it was more than even the prosecutor asked for.
