Bolding is in the Van der Munniklaan to show his involvement. A 23-year-old woman was killed in a house in the street. Her 30-year-old husband has been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the death of the woman.
The couple originally came from Eritrea and lived in the Netherlands for several years and has two children. The oldest, 5 years old, was born in Eritrea. The second child is one and a half years old.
In Leens people react shocked and very emotionally to the death of the woman. They speak of a 'very nice couple'. A neighbor does not want to hear a bad word about the couple. "You can hope that all new Dutch people integrate as well as these people."
A neighbor tells us that the whole neighborhood was invited last year when the youngest child was baptized. ,, That was a very nice party. '' The children are now in crisis shelter.
Also at primary school De Regenboog, where the oldest child went to school, children are taken care of. This is done by the GGD.
The investigation is in full swing for the police. In the morning hours a search dog was searched in the vicinity of the house for a weapon that may have been used.
Several families from Eritrea live in the municipality of Het Hogeland. They can visit Thursday in the old town hall of Leens to talk to each other and share their grief.
