A man from Tilburg is suspected of being involved in the death of his wife and his roommate. He was already a suspect in the case of his wife’s death, but was released. Later in his house, where his wife was also found dead, his roommate was found dead.
The 37-year-old man was arrested last Tuesday and will remain detained for fourteen days longer, reports the police Friday. He was arrested in Vlaardingen.
The man’s wife was found on December 14, 2020 in his home in Tilburg-Noord. He was subsequently arrested, but was released three weeks later. He remained a suspect in the case.
Ten months later, on October 19, 2021, the police received another report about a deceased person in the man’s home. The investigation into his wife’s death was still ongoing at the time. The second deceased turned out to be his roommate.
The Public Prosecution Service (OM) says it has sufficient evidence to show that the man is involved in the death of the two. It is not immediately clear how the case will proceed. The OM was not immediately available for questions from NU.nl.
