On the Holterbergweg in Duiven-Drecht, at the exit with the Buitensingel, a white plush bear leans against a signpost. In addition, there are, on a neat row, flowers in paper and plastic. An envelope is attached to a single tuild, for ‘dear Lisa’. Here ended in the night from Tuesday to Wednesday the life of Lisa, a 17-year-old girl from Abcoude. After going out, she rode home from Leidseplein in Amsterdam when she was attacked and killed.
Her route must have taken her through the city from about half past three in the morning to the Amstel station. From there it goes out of the city. First past new houses and student complexes, where stores are also located. Then the houses make way for large business premises of Hanos catering wholesaler, Rental Company Bo-Rent, De Makro and finally the PostNL sorting center. And then, once under the sports viaduct of train and metro at Duivendrecht station, there is nothing left in buildings before you come to the Ziggo Dome and the Johan Cruijff Arena. That is exactly the place where the perpetrator struck.
De Telegraaf On Thursday reported that the girl had called emergency number 112 and was even on the line with the control room when she was attacked. That suggests that she felt unsafe a little earlier. When a police car arrived a little later, around four o’clock, the girl was already killed and the perpetrator without a trace. Sources told De Telegraaf that the attack took no more than ten minutes.
Police investigation
There are bushes and fields on either side of the road at this place. Just beyond the crime scene, there is a banner with ‘this green lung must remain’: protest from the users of Volkstuin Nieuw Vredelust against new construction plans for which their gardens should give way. On the other side of the road, an apartment building is being built that will be part of that new neighborhood, with 330 social rental homes.
Thursday evening the police investigation at the crime scene was still in full swing. Within the red -white ribbons with which half of the roadway and the cycle path were deposited, there were ten cars plus a container from the Forensic Investigation Team. Three Fatbikes with a total of five boys pass by. “Ee, ee! Blue blue blue,” the front cyclist warns his friends when he sees the police cars. A trailer for a boat was parked on the ditch side. There was a technical camera on the cycle path. Two uniformed men came from the bushes, one wore a bucket, the other had LTOZ on the back of his vest: National Team underwater searches. The police have emptied the ditch in search of traces.
A police team of 110 people is working on tracing the perpetrator
Bee News hour Later that same evening former chef of the National Forensic Investigation John Pel would tell that the police team works on the case has 110 members. “The one who is responsible for this, he must leave the street,” said a police spokesperson for the camera.
Former police chief Pel indicated in news hour that forensic research is time-consuming. The traces of victim and perpetrator, the traces of the environment – everything is used to set up scenarios that are ‘run out one by one. He also said that the digital investigation of images of the entire route that Lisa has taken is trying to find. On Thursday, the police had a announcement in which they said they were looking for three specific witnesses, in a delivery van, in a biro car and on a scooter, who were in the area around the time in question. On Friday morning, a police spokesperson could not yet say whether one of those witnesses had already reported.
Bulk -Round Cameras
According to PEL, GPS traces play an important role: the so-called stading of mobile phones to masts along the route. Lantern posts on that conscious part of the Holterbergweg hang three bulb round cameras – now. The municipality of Ouder-Amstel, which includes Duivendrecht, placed it on Thursday.
In various media a connection was made with a sexual crime earlier that week on Weespertrekvaart, also southeast of Amsterdam, but then slightly more to the north. There a woman was dragged by a man and assaulted. On Thursday, the police arrested a suspect in this case, a 22-year-old man without a permanent place of residence. He was arrested in an asylum shelter from the COA in Amsterdam. A police spokesperson says that two separate teams are investigating both cases and that a possible connection is not excluded.
