It is a tree of a guy, of 2 meters 14 long. And yet Wilco was suddenly on the ground after a swishing stabbing movement. in front of his house. The 50-year-old Enkhuizer was the victim of a parking dispute that got out of hand on Sunday evening and was stabbed in the side. He therefore underwent a second bowel operation on Monday. The police are still looking for the perpetrator and the neighborhood is very frightened.
More than twelve hours after the stabbing incident at the Poortland in Enkhuizen, nothing of the consternation can be seen. The police tapes have been removed, although the after effects are palpable. “You don’t expect this here.”
Agnes is Wilco’s partner and will be present on Sunday at the conflict that is getting so out of hand. She tells her story – somewhat reluctantly – in the doorway. “He got hit in his intestines, in his side. He is undergoing surgery on his intestines for the second time today. Hopefully he will not become an invalid, because he was already a bowel patient.”
An apparently harmless parking dispute with a girl next door quickly turns into a verbal abuse. “Then she got her boyfriend and a fight broke out between Wilco and that boy. ‘I stab you’he cried. I yelled that I was going to call the police, hoping that would deter the boy.”
Completely panicked
The opposite is true. Wilco is hit by a sharp object. “I went in to look for a phone. When I came out again, Wilco was suddenly bleeding on the sidewalk. I panicked completely. That boy? He had already disappeared. I don’t get it. Who has it now a knife with him?”
Wilco is soon taken care of by neighbor Ad de Vries, who lives across the street and happened to be walking his dog Juna. “I saw a fight between two men from a distance and then saw that the perpetrator made a stabbing movement. The neighbor wanted to get up, but he collapsed. Then he was kicked in the head. He also had a head injury.”
Adrie does not hesitate for a moment and uses a cloth to close the stab wound in the side until the ambulance arrives. “It’s the only thing you can do at that moment,” it sounds laconic. “I’ve worked in the Navy and have seen more accidents up close. Hopefully the neighbor will be okay.”
The police entered a house on Poortland on Sunday evening, looking for the perpetrator. No one is found.
Didn’t close an eye
Agnes is still deeply impressed by the events on Monday morning. “I didn’t sleep a wink,” she says. “I kept thinking: soon he will be back‘” On Monday morning, the assailant was still on the run. “And if he’s caught and he’s released, will he want to get revenge?”
A little further down the street, where the perpetrator stayed on Sunday, is not opened. The tilt window opens minimally on the upper floor. “We have nothing to say,” it sounds.
“It’s always something there”, Agnes sighs ten minutes earlier. “There is often noise nuisance on the weekends when they have had a lot to drink again.”
Tree of a guy
Adrie Heide lives next to Wilco and Agnes. He missed a lot of the commotion Sunday night. “Fortunately, because my children were also at home. Wilco? That’s a boom of a guy. And goodness itself. I don’t know what kind of problems there should be.”
Moments later, Adrie comes to Agnes with his children. With tearful eyes he inquires about the situation of his neighbor. “We’re going to buy a ticket. For the neighbor”, his daughter says softly. Emotional scenes at a front door in Enkhuizen. Agnes also shoots full. “Wilco will like that.”
Police are not commenting on the nature of the argument and are investigating the matter.
