Impressive Tribute To Family Murder Victims Anna (38) And Dani (6) In Geldermalsen

Dozens of people gathered in Geldermalsen this afternoon to pay a final tribute to Anna (38) and Dani (6), the mother and son who died in Geldermalsen last week. People will soon join a guard of honor of children at Dani primary school, where the funeral procession will pass.

The honorary hague is formed on the Glorie van Holland, the street on which primary school De Morgenster is located, and also leads past the Notarisappel. Dani was a student of De Morgenster. The day after his death, texts such as ‘rest in peace Dani’ and ‘rest in peace Dani’ were written on the sidewalks around the school in chalk.

Lighting a candle in church

There was also room in the Centrumkerk in Geldermalsen to reflect on the drama: for those who wanted to, the church opened its doors on Wednesday afternoon and evening and there was room to light a candle, among other things.

The funeral of mother and son is this afternoon in Tiel. It will take place privately.

Suspect died

Dani and Anna were found lifeless in their house on Emmalaan in Geldermalsen on Monday morning after a fire raged earlier that morning.

The father of the family was suspected of a double murder and arson. He was arrested at Paderborn in Germany and brought before the court there. He was detained pending his surrender to the Netherlands, but was found in his cell on Thursday morning after attempting to take his own life. He was in hospital for several days in critical condition, where he died on Sunday.

“Due to his death, criminal prosecution against the man is no longer possible, but the criminal investigation by the police into the incident in Geldermalsen will continue for some time,” the Public Prosecution Service East Netherlands said earlier.
