One of the four men arrested on suspicion of involvement in the deadly explosion at the Hague Tarwekamp is the ex-partner of the owner of the bridal shop. That reports it A.D Wednesday morning. The newspaper calls the 33-year-old Rotterdam resident “possibly the client” of the explosion and writes that police sources take into account that he instigated the attack out of desire for revenge.
Tuesday evening reported de Volkskrant that four weeks before the attack, the 33-year-old suspect tried to sell the same white Range Rover as the owner of the bridal shop. At that time it was not yet known how the suspect and the owner related to each other.
It A.D writes that the Rotterdam resident would have approached the three other suspects “directly or not” “to get the job done.” Two of them live in Roosendaal, where the owner’s originally Afghan ex-partner also grew up. The fourth suspect comes from Oosterhout, not far from Roosendaal. According to “acquaintances” who A.D the suspects from Roosendaal are cousins.
Out of control
It now appears that it was never the intention to cause so much damage to the Wheat Camp. Nineteen households have no longer been able to stay at home since last Saturday. An eight-year-old boy lost his parents and sister in one fell swoop. It is still unclear how the alleged revenge attack could get so out of hand. There is a chance that the attackers lacked knowledge and skills, although all three have been convicted of various crimes, the report said. A.D.
What is also striking is that the police arrested the two suspects from Roosendaal almost a week before the attack at night in a parking lot in Oosterhout in a van with jerry cans, torches and cobras. The police already suspected that they were preparing for a crime. They were interrogated and released. At least one jerry can was found among the rubble at the Tarwekamp.
Attention to bridal business
There is still a lot of uncertainty about the circumstances surrounding the explosion, which claimed the lives of six people. Hobbyists and various news media, in a search for answers, paid extensive attention to the bridal shop that was the epicenter of the explosion. Omroep West spoke of a “shadowy history”, because the bridal fashion business has been registered and deregistered with the Chamber of Commerce several times and has had different owners. Also The Telegraph went into detail about ‘suspicious’ elements of the store, after which the family went to the media called for the owner to be left alone.
The police already suspected last Tuesday that the bridal shop was the target of the explosion. The owner lives according to it A.D now in a protected location, and her family’s neighborhood is also said to be a “enhanced security area”.
