The two suspects were already in the picture with the police on Sunday, but despite repeated attempts they could not be arrested earlier. On Wednesday evening they were discovered in a house in the Middelburg district of Dauwendaele and they were still arrested.
The stabbing that killed the teenager from Middelburg took place around noon on Sunday between Meanderlaan and De Overloper. The victim was taken to hospital with serious injuries, where he died three days later.
