Etten-Leur – In the night of Friday 28 to Saturday 29 April, the police received the sad news that the 9-year-old girl from Etten-Leur died of her injuries. She was taken to hospital in critical condition on Friday. The reason was a stabbing in her home on the Leurse Dijk.
Several emergency services went to the house around 05:00 on Friday morning, because a stabbing was reported. They found a dead man outside the house. This turned out to be the 41-year-old resident. Inside the home were a seriously injured child and an injured woman. The woman, wife and mother, has since been treated for her injuries and is out of danger.
Investigations to date indicate that the father is believed to have injured his child and wife and then took his own life, although other scenarios are still being investigated. As far as is known, the family was not known to aid agencies, the judiciary or the police.
