Richard K. (51) did not feel heard by the police, the suspect of the double murder in Weiteveen told the court. “If someone has to be stabbed before you do something,” he would have called against the agents.
Within one month after the sale of the parental home of K. to the couple Sam and Ineke, the flame already hit the pan. The business conflict about a bad floor turned into a personal conflict.
Within half a year, Ineke reported reproach against K. Via the internet page Facebook, according to Ineke, the couple were kicked by K. It was suggested on that page ‘that something had to happen to the couple’.
The reactions among the messages were hard. For example, it was suggested to “turn the light out of the eyes.” As a precaution, Ineke took her son from the football club. K. got the police on the sidewalk. “I then decided the Facebook page,” K. said. In the same breath, K. continues with his story: “But we too were threatened. And vandalism was committed with us”.
In September, K. gave the police a video of two people who would have destroyed the cables in the horse shed. “The police found this insufficient evidence. They could not see who the people were,” said K. “Both parties were very concerned about what the other person is doing,” the judge said. He wondered if this could not be solved through a conversation.
A conversation would follow at the police station in Klazienaveen. Ineke called, she did not feel heard by the police was her reason. In the meantime, the reproaches continue. “Treiterijen are up to that, but they threatened me and my family. I had on band that Sam shouted that he was going to shoot us all”.
K. gave this recording to the police. “And what do I get from the public prosecutor?” No priority. ” K. became emotional. According to the judge, Ineke experienced the same: “The declarations entered Linea Recta into the trash.” It became an obsession for K., the man said. “Even at night I checked the images of the cameras”.
In the end, Ineke’s father also contacts the police. The family had finished the behavior of K. He had to be tackled in a criminal way. “The man goes beyond all boundaries,” the father would have said. “I didn’t do anything to them,” says K. “Yes, on January 16, not before that.”
