In Memoriam Jesse Dingemans (Updated!)

Last Friday an 8 y/o boy got murdered at his school in Hoogerheide, The Netherlands. The nation was shocked by this brutal murder. A few hours later they arrested a man, but until today (Monday) he denies any involvement. According to his lawyer, he has an alibi but a very wierd one!

I used to live in Hoogerheide for a few years and my parents still live there. It is usually a small piecefull village with around 8,000 people living there.

Update 4-12-06 : The man arrested is Julien C. An Antillian with a reasonable crminlal record already. Last monday he had to appear in court and the judge allowed police to keep him in custody for another 3 weeks, pending investigation results.
Update 5-12-06 : As it looks like Jesse was murdered because he caught Julien C. during his attempt to break into the school and steal something. Jesse knew Julien because of Julien's son; they were classmates. Julien would not have seen another way out then to murder Jesse to silence him. During his appearance in court, Julien remained calm, admitted having been in the school, but denies any involvement in the murder of Jesse Dingenans.

Dutch child dies in school attack
An eight-year-old boy has been stabbed to death by a masked man at a primary school in the Netherlands.
A 22-year-old man has been arrested as a suspect in the killing of Jesse Dingemans, police said.
The attacker was not related to the boy, the son of a local bank manager, and the motive for the attack was not clear, police said.
The attack took place in the town of Hoogerheide, 150km (90miles) south of Amsterdam, near the Belgian border.
"The killer fled but police have now arrested a suspect," said police spokesman Willem van Hooijdonk.
"It does not seem that many children witnessed the incident," he told Dutch broadcaster NOS.
"As far as we can reconstruct it did not happen in front of a full classroom."
The boy is believed to have been stabbed when he went to an empty classroom to retrieve something.
The school was evacuated after the incident, while a helicopter hovered overhead. No murder weapon has been found.
The BBC's correspondent in The Hague, Geraldine Coughlan, said the killing has shocked the Netherlands.
School killings are rare in the country, which has strict laws on possession of weapons.
The Dutch Education Minister has said schools must be a secure environment for children.
A Dutch teacher was shot dead by a student and another seriously injured in a stabbing two years ago.
