The 20-year-old Samir El Y., who is suspected of shooting the 24-year-old Bas van Wijk near the Nieuwe Meer last summer, would also have shot in the direction of three other people that day, according to the Public Prosecution Service (OM). .
The suspect appears for the first time in court on Wednesday on suspicion of shooting Bas van Wijk from Badhoevedorp. El Y. has previously confessed to having fired.
The victim was on 8 August with a group of friends in the park ‘De Oeverlanden’ near the Nieuwe Meer. It was very busy that day due to a heat wave. At a certain point a conflict arose with another group, to which suspect Samir El Y. belonged.
According to the prosecution, it was headed towards Bas’s group. To a man wearing a Rolex he is said to have shouted, “Who is the one looking at us for so long?” El Y. is said to have fired into the ground and said, ‘This one went into the ground and the next one is going somewhere else, so don’t be too smart. Give me the clock. Where’s that Rolex? ‘

Veerle Hammerstein, El Y.’s lawyer, leaves on AT5 know that the statement of the Public Prosecution ‘is absolutely incorrect’. ’43 witnesses were heard, all bystanders. There has been very variable explanation. According to witnesses there was a discussion going on, which degenerated into shooting on the ground, but it is absolutely not the case that my client has fired in the direction of other people, as the OM claims, ” said Hammerstein.
