The relatives of the mother and daughter who died on Thursday in one of the two shootings in Rotterdam live in unreality. “It creates a black hole in our hearts.”
“We are deeply saddened by the death of two completely innocent people who did no harm to anyone,” they say in a statement distributed by the organization On behalf of the Family.
39-year-old Marlous and her fourteen-year-old daughter Romy were killed in the shooting in a house on Heiman Dullaertplein. The relatives say they still have many questions about how the shooting could have happened.
“Questions that need answers, but our families now especially want to take the time to grieve in peace for the loss of our sister, niece, grandchild and (step)daughter.”
In addition to mother and daughter, a teacher from Erasmus MC also died
The relatives request everyone to respect their privacy. “This also applies to the funerals, which will be private in nature.”
In addition to the woman and her daughter, a 43-year-old teacher from Erasmus MC was also killed in a second shooting in Rotterdam on Thursday. Police have arrested a suspect in both fatal incidents.
Target amount for family has been raised
The target amount of 60,000 euros for the family of the 39-year-old woman and her fourteen-year-old daughter who died in the shooting in Rotterdam has been achieved. The campaign on the GoFundMe site was set up on Friday by an acquaintance of the family.
On Saturday at 5:33 PM the counter stood at 60,425 euros. More than 3,000 donations have been received.
According to the collectors, the money goes directly to the family. It should “help them alleviate the financial burden associated with a funeral and similar loss”, can be read in the accompanying text.
