ICT and homeworker Armando (26) stabbed to death during a detour: ‘No words for’ | Inland

That writes Omroep West. Balkaran had a good job in ICT. He had a permanent contract for a month, so he could look forward to his own home. “He was a very calm boy, mostly in the background and focused on his career,” says his uncle, Wikram Kanhai.

On the Thursday afternoon in question, he went outside for a moment. “During his programming work he would walk for half an hour or an hour. He actually always did. Because of corona, he worked at home. Only after that day did he never return. ”

Balkaran was stabbed five minutes from his home. He died in hospital four days later.

Unbelief

The why question preoccupies the family. There appears to be no explanation for the atrocity. Balkaran had no wrong friends. The police hinted at a random action: “At the moment there is nothing to indicate that the stabbing at this victim was a targeted action.”

“We really didn’t believe it,” says Uncle Kanhai. “Not even when we saw him in the hospital. How could that happen to him? Such a quiet boy. And suddenly he is gone. ”

The family gathered at the scene on Saturday afternoon. Father Hans can hardly say anything. “There are no words for this.” A few dozen people came to the commemoration.

Tinted man of 1.75 meters

Meanwhile, the police investigation continues. A suspect who was previously arrested was soon released. Balkaran was able to state before his death that the perpetrator was a tinted man between 1.75 and 1.80 meters tall. The family hopes he will be found. The police seem to take the case seriously, “also because there have been several incidents,” said Uncle Kanhai, who stated that people were alleged to have been harassed. “I hope someone saw something. No matter how trivial: report it. ”
