An 11-year-old girl was stabbed to death on Saturday in Nieuwegein, the Netherlands. A suspect was quickly arrested and did not seem to have had any mobile, probably not even knowing the victim.
It is a drama that occurred in the street on Saturday, February 1, in Nieuwegein, in the province of Utrecht, in the Netherlands. An 11 -year -old girl, Dutch of Eritrean origin, was stabbed by a man who fled. Despite the rescue intervention, the child died of his injuries, reports TF1 Info. Thanks to “information provided by passers -by and other people” witnesses of the attack, a 29 -year -old suspect was arrested “in the immediate vicinity,” said regional police in a press release.
An investigation is underway to determine the reasons that pushed this man to stab this child. For the moment, the authorities claim that it is “very realistic” that the suspect does not know “at all” the victim. The only link discovered for the moment between the man and the little girl is that they lived in the same city.
Handled “without reason”
“She was apparently stabbed to death for no reason,” said police spokesman Wim Hoonhout on Dutch public radio. According to residents of the district to the local police, the individual had a “confused” behavior in the street. Marijke Van Beukering-Huijbregts, the mayor of the city, evokes “a black page for Nieuwegein” and describes the event as “a nightmare for all of us”.
