Jacobus H G van Sittert

Jacobus "Koos" van Sittert (1937 – 2011)

Brief overview:

Koos, aged 74, was overpowered at his gate when he arrived home during the evening, forced into his home and murdered inside his bedroom.

His decomposing corpse was found on his bed in a drawn up position and with a blanket over his head.

Cash and a pistol was stolen from his safe. His son had to identify him at the morgue. He said that his father was thin and frail as he was not eating regularly since the death of his wife 3 months earlier, and would have not been able to offer resistance to his attackers.
