The bodies of two dead people were found in Meerstad, near Groningen, on the night of Wednesday to Thursday. It concerns a 53-year-old couple. The police have arrested a minor suspect and confirm that it is a child of the two parents.
The police assume that the couple died as a result of a crime and suspect the child of involvement in the death. A spokesperson does not want to say much about the identity of the suspect. He does dispute that it concerns a 13-year-old girl, as several media reports.
The suspect is under restrictions, which means that the child is only allowed to have contact with a lawyer. The police speak with those involved and conduct forensic investigations, as is usual for serious crimes.
