Aaltje's husband was imprisoned for theft. She took all her assets with her,
except her six under aged children, which was a criminal offense.
Within the hour of their arrival the policemen Hermannus Hoving, Jan Werkman, Aldert Meijer & Mient van der Molen lay dead in the snow with their throats slit.
Wijkstra had set his house on fire and fled the scene but was arrested later on that day.
Upon being asked why he did it, he replied 'they provoked me.'
