‘Oh yes the dog’
A woman who lives in the apartment next door estimates the victim to be around thirty: ‘an ordinary man’, she doesn’t know more about him.
Another resident estimates the victim to be a bit older: between 30 and 40, she suspects. ‘He had little contact with people’, she does know that he had a small white dog. That is included. Several local residents know who it is when the dog is mentioned.
Suddenly all police
The woman was unloading groceries when the emergency services arrived. ‘Suddenly an ambulance came and all the police.’ A trauma helicopter landed on the sports field in the adjacent street. But the help was no longer of use. Meanwhile, football is played again on the field.
“They tried to help him,” says a woman from the balcony that has a view of the apartment where the victim would live on three floors. “I was shocked by this,” she says. The woman says that the apartment has been investigated all night. “There was a white tent in front of the door.” The detectives are also still investigating on Sunday afternoon.
‘Victim unknown’
Police forensic specialists scour the stairwell for traces.
An officer guards the entrance to the porch. Investigators go door to door to gather information, says a local resident. “They’ve been to everyone’s flat,” says a man who lives in the flat next door. “They don’t know who it is yet.” According to him, the victim is a Polish boy. “He had only lived here for a few months, he was very much on his own.”
A man walking his dog has a different opinion: ‘I am from Poland myself and have heard him speak, but I did not understand him. I don’t think he was a Pole, but rather Bulgarian or something. ‘
