I don't have any record or knowledge of a historical figure named Jan van Steven (or similar spelling) murdering his wife Gritje van Royen. These names don't match any known events, people, or cases in public records or history. It could be a fictional story, local legend, or mix-up with another tale.

If you have more context or a source, feel free to share!
