Earlier report:
Amsterdam, Aug. 24, 2009 — Amsterdam police know the identity of the person who two weeks ago fatally stabbed a daycare owner at a parking lot outside her business.
The alleged murderer’s identity and photograph will be revealed tonight on local and national TV stations, when police will ask the public for information regarding the suspect’s whereabouts.
A police spokesperson did not yet wish to reveal whether the suspect and the victim knew each other.
33-year-old Arzu Erbas, who came to Holland 13 years ago from Turkey to study pedagogy, was stabbed after closing her daycare center in the late afternoon of August 11. She died of her wounds later that day at a local hospital.
At the time police said a possible motive could include anything from robbery to a so-called ‘honor killing.’ More than 20 detectives are working on the case.
Erbas was buried in Turkey on Aug. 14. — DutchAmsterdam.nl
