Police are carrying out enquiries at nearly 100 locations in Groningen as they step up efforts to solve a murder case from 24 years ago.
Els Slurink, a 33-year-old psychologist, was found dead in her home on Van Brakelplein on March 21, 1997. She had been stabbed in the heart. Neighbours raised the alarm after she failed to turn up for an appointment at work.
Police told the Asser Courant last week that they had received 14 new tips in response to a new appeal, but none had given them a breakthrough.
‘We follow up all tips and have spoken with a number of those who contacted us. Some of them referred to certain people who may be of interest to us,’ said Rein Ramaker, head of the cold case division.
