Police prevented a family drama at a home in Asten on Friday. A 37-year-old father threatened to kill his children. After several reports, including from the children’s mother, the police decided to break into the house.
Upon entering the house, the police found the two boys on the ground, stunned. They were immediately taken to the hospital, injured in the neck and head. Due to the circumstances, the children are now better off, the Public Prosecutor (OM) reports.
Mother in panic
The mother had called the police in a panic with the message that her children may have been killed by her husband, the prosecutor said in a message. Several people called her on Friday morning that something was wrong with her house on Elfenbank.
The woman had relationship problems with the 37-year-old father of the children. Investigators have now spoken to several witnesses and further investigation must show what exactly happened in the house. In the house, among other things, a search for traces was carried out.
After his arrest, on Monday afternoon his father was questioned and presented to the investigating judge. This has resulted in the man being detained for at least two more weeks. He is suspected of two attempted murders of his children.
