There are still many questions about the reason, with whom, and why the boy was in Eindhoven. We have already heard from several witnesses, which gave a first picture of the events. However, we still want to speak with people who know more or live nearby and may have camera footage.

White van
Witnesses report a gray passenger car drove at the victim. He was not hit. Before that, several people reportedly ran through the neighborhood as if groups were looking for each other. Immediately after, the victim was attacked on the grass by several people, including the driver of the car. He was stabbed by an as yet unknown person. That group then fled on foot, and the gray car also drove away. Further investigation showed that occupants of a white van were involved in the entire incident. This van was parked for some time near the crime scene and then fled at high speed. We strongly suspect the victim, together with others, arrived at Quinten Matsylaan in this van.

Investigation
An ambulance took the victim to a hospital, where the boy was treated. We conducted an investigation at the crime scene, which was cordoned off extensively. We performed trace and neighborhood investigations for clues and information that can help clarify the case. Of course, we are especially interested in camera footage.
