Who is the man who runs after Cas Steenbergen after Steenbergen leaves the CH De Wolden party site with his bicycle? In Opsporing Verzocht, the police are asking for information tonight about this man, who is seen running after Cas on surveillance images.
23-year-old Cas Steenbergen came home seriously injured in De Schiphorst on the night of July 16 to 17 last year, after a party in Veeningen. When his mother finds him the next morning, he is no longer conscious. Cas dies on August 15.
The police initially assumed it was a fatal accident, but last week it was announced that the investigation will be reopened based on new information. The police base this on surveillance images of the party site.
For example, the images at the entrance show Cas riding along the cycle path along the party site, after which a few seconds later a man can be seen running after Cas. Both disappear from view behind the party tent, but after about 35 seconds the man returns to view. The police want to get in touch with this man, because it is not clear that he and Cas have had contact. Because it is not yet clear what his exact role is, the police do not want to share the surveillance images yet.
Police suspect it is a man in his early 20s, who was wearing a gray sweater, black pants and white shoes. He was involved in a disturbance after the party. There was also a woman present who held him at a distance, according to the police, as if she wanted to stop him. The police are also looking for this woman.
The police are also looking for two women who were near Cas, because they may have seen or heard something.
