A 43-year-old woman died in the night from Friday to Saturday in her home on Klaproosstraat in Asten after a stabbing. Her 24-year-old son from Deurne has been arrested. The police will question him on Saturday.
The first report of the stabbing came in just after midnight on Friday night. An air ambulance was also called in to provide assistance. This was to no avail.
Police went to the woman’s home after receiving a report. There they found the deceased resident. Her son was also in the house at the time. He was immediately arrested on suspicion of involvement in the woman’s death.
Bumblebee
Police forensic specialists are investigating what exactly happened this Saturday morning. A police van is at the door, barrier tapes hang around the house.
Local residents state that the police were often at the woman’s door, especially for the son who would now have been arrested. “It was sometimes bumblebee,” says one of them. According to another, the woman had four children, two of whom still lived at home.
Flowers
Around noon two bunches of flowers are at the house. A 57-year-old local resident puts them down. She is in tears. “I knew her well. She was such a sweet woman. She was always there for everyone.”
