Two Dutch sarin suspects held longer
[News24] The judge said there was insufficient evidence to hold two female suspects beyond Friday. The men can be held for a further 14 days.The four, three Dutch citizens and a joint Dutch-Turkish national, were arrested last Friday following a tip-off to police that they may have been trying to sell sarin. Prosecutor's office spokesperson Cindy Reijnders said that even though neither sarin nor any other nerve agent has been found, prosecutors have "strong evidence" that the suspects may have had the deadly chemical in their possession. That evidence includes transcripts of phone taps conducted last week. Two of the suspects were arrested as they were about to start digging in the field close to Maastricht. Police then spent three days painstakingly excavating 400m² of the field to a depth of a metre but found no trace of sarin. Police also searched the homes of the suspects but found no trace of any sarin. Posted by: Besoeker 2013-04-03 |
