Residents from Leiden area in Delft were shocked after an 18-year-old boy was stabbed and died on on the street. The incident happened on Sunday 15 January late in the evening.
A resident said she saw the boy being chased by three men on the streets. They were shouting that he stole their phone but I’m not sure how it happened.
“They chased him into Tiecen Street and the next thing I saw people gathering around his body. He was bleeding from his back. They stabbed him several times, I think he had 17 stab wounds,” she said.
